Significance of fistulography findings to the healing time of postoperative pancreatic fistula after pancreaticoduodenectomy.
Article in Surgery today, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposePancreatic fistula (PF) is a common and serious complications after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). However, few studies have discussed the time required for PF healing in patients with this complication. This study investigates the PF healing time (PF-HT) and its association with findings of postoperative fistulography performed via the drainage tubes.
methodsThe subjects of this study were 35 patients with PF among a total of 144 patients who underwent PD for periampullary diseases in our hospital. PF-HT, which was defined as the duration from the first postoperative fistulography to removal of the drainage tubes, was assessed in the enrolled patients. Fistulography findings were classified into four types based on fluid collection and communication with the jejunal loop. We investigated the factors affecting the PF-HT, including the fistulography findings.
resultsThe average PF-HT was 22 ± 20 days. Multivariate analysis revealed that the fistulography type was the only independent factor that affected PF-HT significantly. The PF-HT was significantly shorter in patients without fluid collection than in those with fluid collection. Moreover, those patients with fluid collection and a communication had a significantly shorter PF-HT than those without a communication.
conclusionsWe found that fistulography findings were significantly associated with the PF-HT. This suggests that fistulography findings could help to predict the time needed for PF healing.
