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
backgroundAt present, the materials commonly used for venous reconstruction in radical surgery for pancreatic cancer combined with vascular reconstruction include artificial blood vessels, autologous veins, and allogeneic blood vessels, but these materials all have their own disadvantages. In contrast, the use of the peritoneum and the round ligament of the liver for radical surgery for pancreatic cancer combined with vascular reconstruction provides new options.
methodsA retrospective descriptive study was performed. Clinical data were collected from 11 patients (5 males and 6 females with a median age of 62 years and an age range of 48-72 years) who underwent pancreatic cancer surgery combined with resection and reconstruction of the portal vein (PV) and superior mesenteric vein (SMV) using the peritoneum (including the round ligament of the liver) from November 2018 to November 2020 in the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery, The Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine, and the Department of General Surgery, Affiliated Hospital of Shaoxing University. Intraoperative conditions and postoperative conditions were observed. Data were analyzed using SPSS 19.0 Normally distributed measurement data are expressed as the mean ± SD, whereas nonnormally distributed measurement data are expressed as the median (range). Count data are expressed as absolute numbers.
results(I) Intraoperative condition: all 11 patients completed the operation successfully, including total pancreatectomy (TP) in 4 patients and pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) in 7 patients. In the 11 patients, the duration of surgery was 503±183 min, and the volume of intraoperative bleeding was 332±268 mL. (II) Postoperative condition: of the 11 patients, 5 presented with complications, including pancreatic leak in 3 patients, bleeding in 1 patient, and thrombosis in 1 patient. Postoperative pathological examination showed that 10 of the 11 patients had adenocarcinoma, and 1 had a neuroendocrine tumor.
conclusionsThe peritoneum and the round ligament of the liver are feasible materials and provide clinical options for reconstruction of the PV and SMV.
