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

introductionPancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is a highly complex operation with high rates of morbidity and significant potential for perioperative mortality. Enhanced recovery after surgery protocols following PD aim to standardize post-operative clinical pathways in an effort to decrease surgical stress, minimize practice variation, and accelerate postoperative recovery. We reviewed current evidence and provide recommendations for enhanced recovery after PD protocols.

methodsCurrent evidence regarding enhanced recovery after PD were reviewed. Recommendations for enhanced recovery after PD protocols are provided based on evidence and expert opinion.

resultsKey clinical factors required for a enhanced recovery after PD protocol to reduce postoperative complications and promote a faster recovery include patient and provider education, preoperative oral nutrition until 2-3 h prior to surgery, goal-directed intravenous fluid management, early advancement of oral diet, multimodal analgesia, early mobilization, normoglycemia, and early removal of intra-abdominal drains when clinically indicated. A PD specific protocol has been shown to reduce rates of PD-specific and overall complications as well as shorten postoperative hospital length of stay.

conclusionThe key facilitator to a successful enhanced recovery after PD protocol is careful multi-disciplinary planning with input from all stakeholders. Evidenced-based enhanced recovery protocols have been shown to reduce postoperative morbidity and accelerate postoperative recovery following PD.
