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

backgroundAlthough radical antegrade modular pancreatosplenectomy for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) has become the gold standard procedure in open distal pancreatectomy, there has been no gold standardized procedure for PDAC in minimally invasive distal pancreatectomy (MIDP). In this study, we analyzed our novel cranial-to-caudal approach (CC approach) for patients undergoing MIDP and provide a video clip illustrating the details of the CC approach.

methodsNinety-four patients who underwent MIDP with splenectomy between 2016 and 2021 were included in this study. The CC approach was performed in 23 (24.5%) of the 94 patients. The concept of the CC approach is easy identification of Gerota's fascia from the cranial side of the pancreas and secure tumor removal (R0 resection) wrapped by Gerota's fascia. The short- and long-term outcomes were compared between the CC and non-CC approaches.

resultsThe median operation time and blood loss were similar between the two groups. The ratios of grade ≥ B postoperative pancreatic fistula and Clavien-Dindo grade ≥ III complications were also comparable. All patients in the CC approach group achieved R0 resection, and the R0 ratio was similar in the two groups (p = 0.345). The 2-year survival rate in CC and non-CC approach groups was 87.5% and 83.6%, respectively (p = 0.903).

conclusionsThe details of the CC approach for MIDP were demonstrated based on an anatomical point of view. This approach has the potential to become a standardized approach for left-sided PDAC.
