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

During pancreaticoduodenectomy after transhiatal esophagectomy, the preservation of the blood supply to the gastric conduit is technically difficult due to adhesion. Here, we present a case of successful pancreaticoduodenectomy after neoadjuvant chemotherapy in a patient with pancreatic head cancer who previously underwent subtotal esophagectomy with gastric reconstruction for esophageal cancer. A 69-year-old man who had undergone cholecystectomy 20 years prior and transhiatal esophagectomy 6 years prior for esophageal cancer presented to our hospital for indigestion. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a 2.8-cm pancreatic head cancer, with focal abutment with the gastroduodenal artery, right gastroepiploic artery, and right colic vein. After discussion with the multidisciplinary team, the patient underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy with six cycles of FOFIRINOX. The patient successfully underwent pancreatectomy, which preserved the pylorus. We preserved the gap between the gastric tube and the left lateral segment of the liver to avoid injuring the right gastric artery and vein. The tumor was found to be invading the gastroduodenal artery; thus, we performed R0 resection of the gastroduodenal artery and an end-to-end anastomosis between the gastroduodenal artery and the right gastroepiploic artery. After completing the surgical procedure, we added Braun anastomosis to reduce the incidence of delayed gastric emptying. Pancreaticoduodenectomy after transhiatal esophagectomy can be performed with preservation of the blood supply to the neogastric tube by reconstructing the major vessels, even in cases in which the tumor is invading or abutting the major vessels.
