Modified Blumgart anastomosis without pancreatic duct-to-jejunum mucosa anastomosis for pancreatoduodenectomy: a feasible and safe novel technique.
Article in Cancer biology & medicine, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveThis study proposed a modified Blumgart anastomosis (m-BA) that uses a firm ligation of the main pancreatic duct with a supporting tube to replace the pancreatic duct-to-jejunum mucosa anastomosis, with the aim of simplifying the complicated steps of the conventional BA (c-BA). Thus, we observe if a difference in the risk of postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) exists between the two methods.
methodsThe m-BA anastomosis method has been used since 2010. From October 2011 to October 2015, 147 patients who underwent pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) using BA in Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital were enrolled in this study. According to the type of pancreatojejunostomy (PJ), 50 patients underwent m-BA and 97 received c-BA. The two patient cohorts were compared prospectively to some extent but not randomized, and the evaluated variables were operation time, the incidence rate of POPF, and other perioperative complications.
resultsThe operation time showed no significant difference (
conclusionsCompared with the conventional BA, we suggest that the modified BA is a feasible, safe, and effective operation method for P J of PD with no sacrifice of surgical quality. In the multivariate analysis, we also found that body mass index (≥ 25 kg/m
