Hemoglobin A1c as a marker to stratify diabetes risk following pancreaticoduodenectomy.
Article in Surgery open science, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundPancreatic cancer has been shown to cause diabetes mellitus, and diabetes mellitus has been shown to be a risk factor for pancreatic cancer. The effect of pancreaticoduodenectomy on risk for development of diabetes mellitus is unclear. This study used hemoglobin A1c to determine the incidence of diabetes mellitus development following pancreaticoduodenectomy based on preoperative risk of diabetes mellitus.
methodsRetrospective review of patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy was performed with comparison of preoperative diabetes mellitus status and hemoglobin A1c with development of diabetes mellitus postoperatively. Risk ratios were calculated to determine the risk for diabetes mellitus development.
resultsAmong 90 patients who met inclusion criteria, 26.7% developed new-onset or worsening diabetes mellitus following pancreaticoduodenectomy. Of those with hemoglobin A1c ≤ 5.6%, only 7.7% of patients developed diabetes mellitus. Patients at risk for diabetes mellitus preoperatively had 4.0 times greater risk for development of diabetes mellitus following pancreaticoduodenectomy.
conclusionHemoglobin A1c levels should be used to identify patients at risk for new-onset or worsening diabetes mellitus following pancreaticoduodenectomy.
