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

purposeTranscatheter arterial embolization (TAE) is increasingly used as the first-line treatment for hemorrhage complicating pancreatitis and post-pancreatectomy. However, the optimal therapeutic strategy remains unclear.

methodsAmong 1924 consecutive patients, 40 patients with severe pancreatic hemorrhage in Xuanwu Hospital were enrolled between 2005 and 2017. Patients underwent angiography and direct TAE for primary diagnosis and treatment of bleeding. Repeat TAE, watch and wait, and laparotomy were used as the other therapeutic options. Patient data, technical success, and 90-day survival were identified.

resultsPancreatic diseases underlying hemorrhage included acute pancreatitis (n=19, 47.5%), chronic pancreatitis (n=12, 30%), and pancreatic cancer (n=9, 22.5%). A history of percutaneous catheter drainage or pancreatic surgery was seen in 29 patients (72.5%). There were 48 angiographies, 31 embolizations, and 5 laparotomies performed. Rebleeding occurred in 8 patients (20%); 4 of whom underwent re-embolization, 3 had laparotomy, and 1 had conservative treatment. Successful clinical hemostasis was achieved in 37 patients. Complications were observed in only 2 patients with renal failure and 1 patient with hepatic insufficiency. In total, 25 patients (62.5%) were alive at the 90-day follow-up.

conclusionEndovascular management is effective for achieving hemostasis in severe pancreatic hemorrhage with a high success rate and low recurrence, and laparotomy is not suitable for rebleeding cases.
