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

purposePost-operative pancreatic fistula (POPF) is perhaps one of most dreaded pancreatoduodenectomy-related complications. Various approaches to mitigate this risk have been explored, with conflicting results and no clear consensus on the comparative superiority of any one technique. We postulate that regardless of technique, the key to reducing POPF is a robust pancreatic anastomosis with careful apposition of tissues, in particular the duct-to-mucosa anastomosis.

methodWe describe the fashioning of a pancreatojejunostomy with an external pancreatic stent in the setting of a high-risk anastomosis with help of a 10 × magnification surgical microscope. A technical description with a short, edited video is presented.
