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

Background/Aims: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has been observed in patients after partial pancreatectomy. Previous studies have been performed on oncologic patients who underwent partial pancreatectomy and received adjuvant chemotherapy. By studying a cohort of patients with intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs) who did not receive chemotherapy, the authors investigate the isolated effect of partial pancreatectomy on the development of fatty liver. Methods: A retrospective search for patients with pancreatic IPMNs who underwent partial pancreatectomy at an academic center from 2006 to 2014 identified 63 patients, including 42 who had pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) and 21 who had distal pancreatectomy (DP). Fourteen patients with preoperative hepatic steatosis, diabetes, obesity, on steroid therapy, history of malignancy, or incomplete data were excluded. No patient received chemotherapy. Liver fat signal fraction (LFSF) was computed by the Dixon method using pre- and postoperative in- and out-of-phase MRI. Results: Of the 49 patients included in the study, 29 (59%) underwent PD and 20 (41%) underwent DP. A total of 17 patients (34%) developed fatty liver after surgery. The entire cohort developed significant weight loss, 72.1 versus 69.4 kg ( Conclusion: Partial pancreatectomy increases the risk of NAFLD independent of chemotherapy-induced hepatotoxicity. The underlying mechanism remains unclear and possibly related to pancreatic exocrine insufficiency and malnutrition.
