Assessment of the Predictive Value of Preoperative Serum Albumin and Postoperative Albumin Drop (ΔAlb) for Complications after Pancreas Surgery: A Single-Center Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
backgroundSerum albumin has been shown to be predictive of complications after various gastrointestinal operations. The present study aimed to assess whether preoperative serum albumin and serum albumin drop on postoperative day 1 are associated with postoperative complications after pancreatic surgery.
methodsA single-center cross-sectional study was performed. All patients who underwent pancreatectomy between January 2010 and June 2019 and had preoperative serum albumin value and serum albumin value on postoperative day 1 were included. ΔAlb was defined as the difference between preoperative serum albumin and serum albumin on postoperative day 1. Binary logistic regressions were performed to determine independent predictors of postoperative complications.
resultsA total of 185 patients were included. Pancreatoduodenectomies were performed in 133 cases, left pancreatectomies in 36, and other pancreas operations in 16. The preoperative serum albumin value was found to be an independent predictor of complications (OR 0.9, 95%CI 0.9-1.0,
conclusionsThis study highlighted that preoperative serum albumin is an independent predictor of postoperative complications after pancreas surgery.
