One-step laparoscopic pancreatic necrosectomy verse surgical step-up approach for infected pancreatic necrosis: a case-control study.
Article in World journal of emergency medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundThe surgical step-up approach often requires multiple debridements and might not be suitable for infected pancreatic necrosis (IPN) patients with various abscesses or no safe route for percutaneous catheter drainage (PCD). This case-control study aimed to investigate the safety and effectiveness of one-step laparoscopic pancreatic necrosectomy (LPN) in treating IPN.
methodsThis case-control study included IPN patients undergoing one-step LPN or surgical step-up in our center from January 2015 to December 2020. The short-term and long-term complications after surgery, length of hospital stay, and postoperative ICU stays in both groups were analyzed. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to explore the risk factors of major complications or death.
resultsA total of 53 IPN patients underwent one-step LPN and 37 IPN patients underwent surgical step-up approach in this study. There was no significant difference in the incidence of death, major complications, new-onset diabetes, or new-onset pancreatic exocrine insufficiency between the two groups. However, the length of hospital stay in the one-step LPN group was significantly shorter than that in the surgical step-up group. Univariate regression analysis showed that the surgical approach (one-step/step-up) was not the risk factor for major complications or death. Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that computed tomography (CT) severity index, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) class IV, and white blood cell (WBC) were the significant risk factors for major complications or death.
conclusionOne-step LPN is as safe and effective as the surgical step-up approach for treating IPN patients, and reduces total hospital stay.
