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

The efficacy and safety of pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) has not been yet studied in octogenarians in Greece. The present study reviewed records of all consecutive patients that underwent PD at the 4th Surgical Department of Attikon University Hospital (Athens, Greece) between January 1st, 2010 and December 31st, 2019. Differences between two age groups (group Y <80 years; group O >80 years) were analyzed. Study endpoints were length of stay, overall morbidity, 30-day mortality and overall survival (OS). There were 198 patients in Group Y (mean age, 65 years) and 20 patients in Group O (mean age, 82 years). Octogenarians had worse American Society of Anesthesiology score (>2; 31.3 vs. 65%; P=0.018). Median stay was not significantly different between the two groups (14 days vs. 16 days; P=0.307), neither was the 30-day mortality (6.1 vs. 5.0%; P>0.99). Median OS was similar between the two groups (35 months vs. 28 months; P=0.577). In a tertiary center in Greece, morbidity and mortality rates after PD were similar between the two groups. Patients should not be denied a PD, solely based on advanced age.
