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

In elective pancreatic surgery, somatostatin-analogues pasireotide and octreotide are variably used to reduce postoperative complications, but knowledge on their role in pancreas transplantation is limited. This study compared pasireotide and octreotide for their association with complications after simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation (SPK). This retrospective study included consecutive patients undergoing SPK's from July 2013 to July 2022. Between July 2013 and April 2020, octreotide was administered 0.1 mg s.c. once daily and between May 2020 and July 2022 pasireotide was administered 0.9 mg twice daily, both until third postoperative day. Complications within 90 days postoperatively were collected, and reoperation rate and Comprehensive Complication index (CCI) ≥ 33.7 (morbidity equal to one reoperation) were used as primary outcomes. Of the 213 patients undergoing SPK, 150 patients received octreotide and 63 pasireotide. Baseline characteristics were comparable. Reoperation rate was 25.3% (
