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

purposeLeakage of pancreatico-jejunal anastomosis (PJ) remains the primary cause of morbidity and mortality after Whipple's operation. To reduce the occurrence thereof, the present author recently began to apply a modification of the Blumgart method of anastomosis after Whipple's operation (hereinafter referred to as Lee's method), with very good results. MATERIALS AND

methodsThe modified method and technique utilizes fish-mouth closure of a beveled pancreatic stump and parachuting of the pancreatic end with double U trans-pancreatic sutures (symmetric horizontal mattress-type sutures between the full thickness of the pancreas and the jejunal limb) after duct-to-mucosa pancreatico-jejunostomy.

resultsEleven cases of pylorus preserving Whipple's operation have been performed without a clinically significant postoperative pancreatic fistula.

conclusionThis new method (Lee's method) may dramatically reduce the occurrence of postoperative pancreatic fistula after Whipple's operation.
