Pancreatic insufficiency following pancreatectomy: Does underlying tumor syndrome confer a greater risk?
Article in American journal of surgery, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundThe risk of postoperative pancreatic exocrine insufficiency (PPEI) is unknown in patients with multiple endocrine neoplasia type I (MEN1) and von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) who require resection of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs).
methodsA retrospective review of patients who underwent resection of PNETs at the National Institutes of Health from 2007 to 2019 was performed.
resultsOur cohort included 82 patients (VHL n = 25, MEN1 n = 20, sporadic n = 37), 6 of whom developed PPEI. While VHL compared to all non-VHL patients (p = 0.046), non-functional PNETs (p = 0.050), and pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) (p=<0.001) were associated with higher rates of PPEI on univariate analysis, only PD was found to be an independent predictor of PPEI on multivariate analysis (OR 14.43, 95% CI 1.43-145.8, p = 0.024).
conclusionsThe rate of PPEI in patients with hereditary tumor syndromes was similar to that of sporadic PNETs. PD was independently associated with PPEI, and this increased risk should be included in preoperative counseling.
