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
introductionSuperior mesenteric artery first pancreaticoduodenectomy is being increasingly used for pancreatic head and peri-ampullary tumors. The aim of our study was to determine the frequency of various approaches of superior mesenteric artery pancreaticoduodenectomy along with its postoperative complications in a tertiary care center.
methodsThis is a descriptive cross-sectional study of patients undergoing superior mesenteric artery first pancreaticoduodenectomy with different approaches conducted at Kathmandu Medical College Teaching Hospital, Sinamangal, Kathmandu, Nepal, from May 2018 to April 2020. Ethical approval was taken from the Institutional Review Committee (reference no: 310520193). The whole sampling method was adopted. Thirty-four patients undergoing a superior mesenteric artery first pancreaticoduodenectomy at our center with different approaches were included in the study. The data analysis was done in the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 20.
resultsFor 34 patients chosen for the study, the male: female ratio was 1.6:1, with a mean age of 53.7 years. The medial uncinate approach was done in the majority of the cases, 26 (76.4%), whereas the inferior infracolic (mesenteric) approach was done in 1 (2.9%) case. Regarding postoperative complications, Clavien Dindo grade 3 and grade 4 were present in 11 (32.3%) patients, pancreatic fistula (Grade B and C) was observed in 6 (17.6%) patients, and mortality occurred in 2 (5.8%). The mean hospital stay was 16±9 days.
conclusionsSuperior mesenteric artery first pancreaticoduodenectomy with a different approach can be performed with acceptable morbidity and mortality. Early determination of resectibility is achieved in selected cases.
