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

backgroundLate-onset gastrointestinal hemorrhage after pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) occasionally occurs repeatedly or leads to a serious condition. This retrospective study aimed to clarify its frequency and pathogenesis.

methodsA total of 147 consecutive patients who underwent PD for pancreatic cancer between 2006 and 2014 were evaluated. Patients were divided into two groups according to the occurrence of late-onset gastrointestinal hemorrhage on postoperative day 100 or later. Furthermore, recurrence and portal vein (PV) hemodynamics were thoroughly reevaluated by computed tomography.

resultsEleven patients experienced late-onset gastrointestinal hemorrhage. The bleeding sites were gastrojejunostomy in four patients, choledochojejunostomy in two, transverse colic marginal vein in one, and unknown in four. The median occurrence time of late-onset gastrointestinal hemorrhage was 13.3 months after PD. PV occlusion (63.6 vs. 8.9%; p < 0.001), no patency of PV-splenic vein (SPV) confluence (54.5 vs. 12.7%; p = 0.002), and SPV ligation (36.4 vs. 9.6%; p = 0.025) were found to be significant risk factors for late-onset gastrointestinal hemorrhage. Among 11 patients who experienced late-onset gastrointestinal hemorrhage, 7 had PV occlusion and 6 had local recurrence.

conclusionsOur data suggested for the first time that both oncologic and non-oncologic factors might contribute to late-onset gastrointestinal hemorrhage after PD for pancreatic cancer. Furthermore, PV occlusion, no PV-SPV patency, and SPV ligation were found to be significant risk factors for late-onset gastrointestinal hemorrhage. Therefore, to prevent late-onset gastrointestinal hemorrhage, we must consider various approaches to maintain the patency of the PV and SPV.
