Evolution of pancreatic surgery over time and effects of centralization-a single-center retrospective cohort study.
Article in Journal of gastrointestinal oncology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Background: Short-term outcomes of pancreatic surgery have improved globally during the last two decades. Long-term survival of resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) has also shown slight improvement. We describe a cohort of 566 consecutive pancreatectomies performed at a Northern Finnish tertiary center. We analyze the trends in short-term outcomes of all-cause pancreatic surgery and long-term survival of PDAC patients. Methods: All pancreatic resections performed at the Oulu University Hospital during years 2000-2020 were included. Patient data was analyzed in four time periods (2000-2005, 2006-2010, 2011-2015 and 2016-2020). Clinicopathological parameters of patients and tumors, complication data and short-term mortality were recorded for all patients and compared between time quartiles. Long-term survival and administration rates of neo-, and/or adjuvant therapy of PDAC patients were analyzed. Results: A total of 566 pancreatectomies were performed during the study period: 359 (63%) pancreatoduodenectomies (PDs), 130 (23.0%) open left pancreatectomies (LPs), 45 (8.0%) laparoscopic LPs, 26 (5.1%) total pancreatectomies (TPs), and 6 (1.1%) enucleations. Median age of patients was 63 [57-71] years, and 49% [267] of patients were men. Number of pancreatectomies per time period increased from 67 in 2000-2005 to 266 in 2016-2020. American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) Physical Classification III patients and T3 tumors were more frequently operated on in later time periods. Complication rates remained at constant low levels throughout the study period, but reoperation rate increased from 9.4% in 2000-2010 to 16.2% in 2011-2020. Short-term (90-day) mortality after pancreatectomy decreased from 3.1% to 0.74%, while 5-year survival improved from 14.3% in 2006-2011 to 21.4% in 2011-2015. Resection rate of diagnosed PDAC cases, as reported by the Finnish Cancer Registry (FCR) for the catchment area, increased from 3.2% to 14.9% over the study period. Conclusions: The hospital volume of pancreatectomies has increased substantially, while complications and postoperative mortality have remained at acceptable levels. Long-term survival and resection rate of PDAC patients showed notable improvement over two decades.
