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

backgroundOpen pancreaticoduodenectomy has a high complication and measurable mortality rate. Recent reports (based across multiple surgical disciplines) demonstrate that elevated postoperative high sensitivity troponin T (hsTnT) predicts adverse outcomes in non-cardiac surgery. The aim of this study was to evaluate postoperative hsTnT as a prognostic marker of mortality, major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), post-operative non-cardiac complications and length of stay (including intensive care stay) in open pancreaticoduodenectomy.

methodsA retrospective review of open pancreaticoduodenectomy patients was undertaken from 01/10/2017-31/03/2019. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were calculated to identify ideal cut-off values for hsTnT. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to scrutinize the relationship between mean hsTnT and 30-day, 90-day mortality, MACE, post-operative non-cardiac complications and length of stay.

resultsOne hundred and nine patients were identified. ROC curves demonstrated a strong correlation between elevated mean hsTnT and 30-day, 90-day mortality and MACE (AUC = 0.937, AUC = 0.852, AUC = 0.779, respectively). Multivariate analysis showed mean hsTnT > 21 ng/l was significantly associated with 90-day mortality (OR 43.928, p = 0.004) and MACE (OR 8.177, p = 0.048).

conclusionsHsTnT is predictive of mortality and MACE in the context of open pancreaticoduodenectomy. Association between hsTnT and prolonged critical care stay was less significant. Non-cardiac complications and length of stay show no significant association with hsTnT.
