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

Pancreatic fistula (PF) remains the most frequent complication after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). This study was undertaken to explore the risk factors of postoperative PF following PD and discuss the management of PF in our center. A single-center respective study, involving 241 patients who underwent PD between September 2015 and June 2018, was conducted. Differences in the demographic data, preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative variables between the group with PF [International Study Group on Pancreatic Surgery (ISGPS) grade B/C] and the group without PF (no PF and ISGPS grade BL) were evaluated. The diagnosis and grading of PF were in strict accordance with ISGPS. Risk factors were analyzed by univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis. The results showed that postoperative PF occurred in 50 (20.7%) of the patients; 25 (10.4%) patients had a PF type BL, 46 (19.1%) patients developed a PF type B and 4 (1.6%) had a PF type C. Univariate analysis showed that fasting blood glucose (P=0.02), pancreatic texture (P< 0.001) and pancreatic duct diameter (P=0.01) were correlated with PF. Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified one independent risk factor for postoperative PF: soft pancreatic texture (OR=3.251, P=0.002). Among the cases, there were three postoperative deaths, giving a 60-day hospital mortality rate of 1.2% (3/241), and the mortality related to PF was 4.0% (2/50). One of the patients died from multiple organ failure caused by postoperative abdominal hemorrhage. In conclusion, soft pancreatic texture is an independent risk factor for PF. Surgeons should be well aware of this risk factor when performing a PD.
