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

purposeRisk factors of ischemic gastropathy (IG) following distal pancreatectomy with en bloc celiac axis resection (DP-CAR) remain unclear.

methodsFifty consecutive patients with pancreatic cancer who underwent DP-CAR were retrospectively reviewed for possible risk factors for IG. This study was registered on the UMIN Clinical Trials Registry (UMIN 000028732).

resultsComplications higher than grade 3 were observed in 21 patients (42%) and mortality in 4 (8%). Left gastric artery (LGA) resection (P = 0.046) and a combination of left inferior phrenic artery (IPA) with LGA resection (P = 0.012) were risk factors of IG, and an elevated creatine kinase (CK) value ≥ 1005 IU/L (P = 0.025) was associated with IG. Among prognostic factors, IG (OR, 5.997; 95% CI, 1.543-23.309; P = 0.010), completion of adjuvant chemotherapy (OR, 0.282; 95% CI, 0.121-0.654; P = 0.003), longer operative time (OR, 2.261; 95% CI, 1.084-4.714; P = 0.030), and higher age (OR, 2.212; 95% CI, 1.081-4.524; P = 0.030) remained independent predictors of survival. Comparison at 2 and 3 months postoperatively showed nutritional values were higher in patients who underwent LGA-preserving DP-CAR than those with LGA-resecting DP-CAR: total protein (7.17 ± 0.56 vs 6.65 ± 0.66 g/dl, P = 0.007), albumin (4.04 ± 0.45 vs 3.43 ± 0.43 g/dl, P < 0.001), and total cholesterol (162.3 ± 34.7 vs 141.6 ± 27.2 mg/dl, P = 0.044).

conclusionsThe poorer prognosis in patients who undergo DP-CAR may be related to more advanced tumors. A combination of left IPA and LGA resection was a significant risk factor for IG. IG, completion of adjuvant chemotherapy, longer operative time, and higher age remain good independent predictors of survival.
