Is Roux Loop a Solution to Delayed Gastric Emptying Following Pancreaticoduodenectomy? A Single Institute Analysis.
Article in Indian journal of surgical oncology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Delayed gastric emptying is one of the most common complications of pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). It almost always results in delayed oral intake, prolonged hospital stays, and a delay in initiation of vital adjuvant treatment. A few earlier studies suggested that delayed gastric emptying (DGE) rates were better with the Roux-en Y reconstruction, but Indian literature regarding this is lacking. In our institutional study, we compared the traditional single-loop reconstruction (SL group), with the Roux loop reconstruction (RY group) following a subtotal stomach-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy (SSPPD). A retrospective comparative study was conducted between the conventional single loop and a Roux-en-Y method of reconstruction following a subtotal stomach preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy (SSPPD). Sixty-three consecutive Whipple's procedures were analyzed for multiple clinical parameters like removal of Ryles tube, tolerance of liquid diet and solid diet, delayed gastric emptying, duration of hospital stay and interval between surgery, and initiation of adjuvant treatment. Forty-one patients in the SL group were compared with 22 patients in the RY group. Ryles tube removal (POD 8.2 versus 2.25,
