The effect of atrial fibrillation on perioperative outcomes in patients with pancreatic cancer undergoing open pancreaticoduodenectomy: analysis of the National Inpatient Sample.
Article in Gland surgery, 2021. 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
backgroundTo assess the role of atrial fibrillation on perioperative outcomes in patients with pancreatic cancer undergoing open pancreaticoduodenectomy (OPD).
methodsWe investigated patients with pancreatic cancer undergoing OPD during 2012-2014 within National Inpatient Sample database. The study population was divided into two groups based on the presence of atrial fibrillation. In-hospital mortality, length of stay, cost of hospitalization, and in-hospital complications were compared between the two groups. Logistic regression models and linear regression were used to adjust for potential confounders. Propensity score matching was also utilized.
resultsOf the 12,785 patients aged ≥18 years undergoing OPD during years 2012-2014, 11,469 (90%) had no atrial fibrillation and 1,316 (10%) had atrial fibrillation. Patients with atrial fibrillation were found to have significantly higher cost, but similar mortality and LOS compared to those without atrial fibrillation. The risk of gastrointestinal anastomotic leakage, cardiac complications, respiratory complications, pulmonary embolism, and perioperative shock were found to be significantly higher in atrial fibrillation group than non-atrial fibrillation group in both multivariate regression model and propensity score matching model. In older patients (>65 years), atrial fibrillation was found to be associated with a significantly higher cost, longer hospital stays, higher incidence of cardiac complications, respiratory complications, and postoperative shock, yet similar mortality.
conclusionsAtrial fibrillation was found to be associated with higher cost in pancreatic cancer patients undergoing OPD, as well as increased occurrence of cardiac complications, respiratory complications, pulmonary embolism, and perioperative shock. Surgeons should pay special attention to patients with atrial fibrillation, and consider working together with cardiologists and anesthesiologists to jointly develop a management plan.
