Pancreatic surgery in elderly patients: results of 329 consecutive patients during 10 years.

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
Introduction: There is a progressive shift from a younger population to an older population throughout the world. With the population age shift, surgeons will be more encountered with older patient profiles. We aim to determine age-related risk factors of pancreatic cancer surgery and the effect of patient age on outcomes after pancreatic surgery. Materials and methods: A retrospective review was conducted with data obtained from consecutive 329 patients whose pancreatic surgery was performed by a single senior surgeon between January 2011 and December 2020. Patients were divided into three groups based on age: patients younger than 65 years old, between 65 and 74 years old, and older than 74 years old. Demographics and postoperative outcomes of the patients were evaluated and compared between these age groups. Results: The distribution of a total of 329 patients into the groups was 168 patients (51.06%) in Group 1 (age <65 years old), 93 patients (28.26%) in Group 2 (age ≥65 and <75 years old), and 68 patients (20.66%) in Group 3 (age ≥75 years old). The overall postoperative complications were statistically significantly higher in Group 3 than in Group 1 and Group 2 ( Conclusion: Our data demonstrate that comorbidity, ASA score, and the possibility of achieving a curative resection do have significantly more impact than age alone.
