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

BACKGROUND/

aimsThe International Study Group of Pancreatic Surgery recently published a consensus statement on the definition of extended pancreatectomy (EP). We aimed to determine the safety profile and short-term outcomes of EP compared to standard pancreatectomy (SP). To mitigate surgeon bias, only pancreatectomies performed by a single surgeon were included.

methodsNinety consecutive patients who underwent pancreatectomy by a single surgeon over a period of 5 years and who met our study criteria were classified into an SP or an EP group. Sixty-two patients underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD), including total pancreatectomy, and 28 patients underwent distal pancreatectomy.

resultsThe 25 patients who underwent EP had significantly increased operation time, estimated blood loss, postoperative intensive care unit (ICU) transfer, and postoperative stay compared to the 65 patients who underwent SP. There was 1 (1.1%) 30-day mortality and 4 (4.4%) in-hospital mortalities. Postoperative morbidity and mortality were similar between both groups. Subgroup analysis of the patients who underwent PD demonstrated that the EP group (

conclusionAlthough patients who underwent EP experienced significantly increased operative time, blood loss, and postoperative stay, they did not experience significantly higher postoperative morbidity or mortality compared to patients who underwent SP.
