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

With advances in surgical management of pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD), mortality rate for PD has been reported to be less than 5%. Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) remains a major complication and morbidity after PD with incidence of up to 40%. This is a retrospective analysis of patients who underwent PD in a tertiary cancer referral center in southern India. Data was collected for the patients operated during the period from Jan 2014 to Dec 2018. Surgicopathological, oncological, and survival outcomes were described. Of 76 patients presumed as operable, 16 were excluded and data analyzed for 60 patients. Forty-four percent underwent classical Whipple's PD and 56% pylorus-preserving PD. The most common postoperative complications were wound infection (25%); pneumonia (20%); clinically relevant POPF (13%); and delayed gastric emptying (19%). Thirty-day in-hospital mortality was 5%, 90-day mortality was 8.3%, and fistula-related mortality was 1.6%. Ampullary cancer was the most common histology. Three-year survival rate was 23.3% with a mean overall survival of 33.2 months with significantly better survival in the node negative than positive group (41.3 vs 20.5 months,
