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

backgroundAn evaluation of the outcome after pancreatic surgery with focus on post-operative and late survival in elderly patients was performed.

methodsThe study included 1.556 patients from a single HBP unit operated from 1. January 2010 to 31. December 2019. Patients were divided into two cohorts, < 75 years (

resultsLength of hospital-stay and surgical complications were not significantly different in the two cohorts, but in-hospital death was 1.1% (<75 years) and 3.5% (≥75 years) (

conclusionElderly patients may undergo pancreatic surgery with a low mortality and for adenocarcinoma with an acceptable long-term survival.
