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

purposeThe aim of this study was to assess the predictive effect of intraoperative amylase value from pancreatic remnant on the development of clinical relevant-postoperative pancreatic fistula after distal pancreatectomy.

methodsPatients undergoing distal pancreatectomy between June 2017 and October 2018 were studied retrospectively. The intraoperative amylase value was measured followed by drain fluid for amylase on postoperative day 3. The analysis of clinical relevant-postoperative pancreatic fistula predictors was carried out using the logistic regression. The receiver operating characteristic analysis was performed to evaluate the discriminative capacity of intraoperative amylase value as a predictive risk factor.

resultsThe study population consisted of 40 patients. The clinical relevant-postoperative pancreatic fistula occurred in 13 patients, no grade C pancreatic fistula (PF). The intraoperative amylase value correlated significantly with clinical relevant-postoperative pancreatic fistula. An intraoperative amylase value > 3089 U/L was proposed as the cut-off level to predict clinical relevant-postoperative pancreatic fistula by the receiver operating characteristic curve. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of this level were respectively 84.6%, 88.9% and 88.5%. The multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that intraoperative amylase value and suture closure for the pancreatic stump were the significant predictive risk factors for the clinical relevant-postoperative pancreatic fistula.

conclusionThe intraoperative amylase value can be early and easily measured as a predictive risk factor, which seems useful for postoperative management of clinical relevant-postoperative pancreatic fistula after distal pancreatectomy. While, the stapler closure might be a feasible way for the pancreatic transection during the operation.
