1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

purposePancreatic fistula (PF) is the most serious complication following pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). This study was performed to identify new clinical factors that may predict the development of PF after PD to improve perioperative management.

methodsSeventy-five consecutive patients who underwent PD from 2012 to 2015 were evaluated. The patients' perioperative data including the computed tomography (CT) parameters were collected. The minimum, maximum, and mean CT attenuation values (HU

resultsThe PF occurrence rate (grade B or C) was 25.3% in 75 patients. A multivariate analysis identified a larger HU
