Modified Reinforced Staple Closure Technique Decreases Postoperative Pancreatic Fistula After Distal Pancreatectomy.
Article in Indian journal of surgical oncology, 2019. 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
Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) is a serious complication that can occur following distal pancreatectomy (DP). Recent studies demonstrated that the use of reinforced staplers with bioabsorbable mesh significantly reduced the incidence of POPF, although the safety and efficacy of this approach remain controversial. Therefore, we originally developed a modified closure technique that combines the use of a reinforced stapler with bioabsorbable mesh with suture closure of the main pancreatic duct. The aim of this study was to determine whether our closure technique is predictive of POPF after DP. Fifty-nine consecutive patients who underwent DP were retrospectively enrolled. Based on the closure technique, we divided the cohort into a suture group (group A;
