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

BACKGROUND/

aimDuring the last decade it has been widely demonstrated that venous involvement in pancreatic head cancer is not a sign of poor prognostic, while surgery with curative intent is feasible and with encouraging results. However, the location and extent of venous invasion can occasionally pose serious problems in terms of reconstruction. The aim of the paper is to describe a case in which total superior mesenteric and portal vein resection followed by reconstruction were successfully performed. CASE REPORT: We present the case of a 74-year-old patient submitted to surgery for locally advanced pancreatic cancer invading the portal and superior mesenteric veins. Surgery consisting of pancreatoduodenectomy en bloc with portal vein and superior mesenteric vein resection was performed. The venous axis was reconstructed by using a venous cadaveric allograft originating from the external iliac vein. The postoperative outcome was favorable and the histopathological studies confirmed the local invasion of the resected venous structures.

conclusionThe cadaveric venous allograft can be safely used in order to reconstruct the venous axis following extended vascular resections for pancreatic cancer.
