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
BACKGROUND/
aimsThis study aimed to compare the patient groups who received and did not receive immunonutrition in terms of mortality and morbidity in patients who underwent radical pancreaticoduodenectomy. MATERIALS AND
methodsTwo groups were formed from 40 patients who underwent radical pancreaticoduodenectomy in our clinic in 2021. The patients in study group were given enteral immunonutrition support for 5 days preoperatively. For this purpose, a standard enteral immunonutrition product containing arginine, omega-3 fatty acids, and RNA (dietary nucleotides) was used. Patients' data of demographical, laboratory, postoperative complications, and current clinical status were analyzed.
resultMortality developed in 5 (25 %) patients in the treatment group and 4 (20 %) patients in the control group in the following months (P > .05). The estimated survival rate in the treatment group was 21.8 ± 2.8 months in the treatment group 19.1 ± 1.7 months in the control group (P > .05). The length of hospital stay was 12.89 ± 3.3 days in the treatment group, while it was 16.47 ± 6.83 days in the control group (P < .05). In the postoperative follow-ups, delayed gastric emptying symptoms developed in 3 patients in the treatment group, while the same complication was observed in 9 patients in the control group (P < .05). Surgical site infections occurred in 4 patients in the treatment group and 9 patients in the control group (P < .05).
conclusionIt was observed that preoperative oral immunonutrition before pancreaticoduodenectomy was effective in reducing the risk of delayed gastric emptying after surgery and the length of hospital stay.
