Management and Outcome of Blunt Pancreatic Trauma: A Retrospective Cohort Study.
Article in World journal of surgery, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundPancreatic injury is rare, but it has a high mortality rate and its optimal treatment remains controversial. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical characteristics, management strategies, and outcomes of patients with blunt pancreatic injury.
methodsThis retrospective cohort study was performed on patients with a confirmed blunt pancreatic injury who were admitted to our hospital from March 2008 to December 2020. The clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients receiving different management strategies were compared. The risk factors for in-hospital mortality were evaluated by performing a multivariate regression analysis.
resultsA total of 98 patients diagnosed with blunt pancreatic injury were identified, with 40 patients having undergone nonoperative treatment (NOT) and 58 patients having undergone surgical treatment (ST). The overall in-hospital deaths were 6 (6.1%), including 2 (5.0%) and 4 (6.9%) in the NOT and ST groups, respectively. Pancreatic pseudocysts occurred in 15 (37.5%) and 3 (5.2%) of the NOT and ST groups, respectively, showing a significant difference between the two groups (P < 0.001). In the multivariate regression analysis, concomitant duodenal injury (OR = 14.42, 95% CI 1.27-163.52; P = 0.031) and sepsis (OR = 43.47, 95% CI, 4.15-455.75; P = 0.002) were independently associated with in-hospital mortality.
conclusionsExcept for the higher incidence of pancreatic pseudocysts in the NOT group than in the ST group, there were no significant differences in the other clinical outcomes between the two groups. Concomitant duodenal injury and sepsis were the risk factors for in-hospital mortality.
