Laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy with pancreatic remnant-gastric coverage: a modified technique to reduce postoperative pancreatic fistula.

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
backgroundTo evaluate the efficacy and safety of a modified pancreatic remnant-gastric coverage technique in laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy (LDP).
methodsThis retrospective study analyzed clinical data from 63 patients who underwent LDP between March 2017 and April 2024 at the Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery Department, The Affiliated LiHuiLi Hospital of Ningbo University. Patients were divided into two groups based on the pancreatic remnant management method: the experimental group (n = 28) underwent pancreatic remnant-gastric coverage, while the control group (n = 35) had the pancreatic remnant closed using a stapler followed by hand-sewn reinforcement. The parameters observed included general patient characteristics, intraoperative data, and postoperative data. We compared and analyzed all the above data between the two groups of patients both before and after propensity score matching (PSM).
resultsAll 63 patients were successfully operated. Before PSM, the incidence of POPF (Grade B/C) in the experimental group was significantly lower than in the control group (14.3% vs 34.3%, P < 0.05). And the incidence of POPF (BL) in the experimental group was lower than in the control group (39.3% vs 51.4%). After PSM, the difference in the incidence of POPF (Grade B/C) between the two groups remained statistically significant (16.0% vs 32.0%, P < 0.05). The incidence of POPF (BL) in the experimental group was also lower than in the control group (36.0% vs 56.0%). There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in terms of operation time, pancreatic texture, thickness of pancreatic stump, intraoperative bleeding, intraoperative transfusion, post-pancreatectomy hemorrhage, abdominal infection, encapsulated effusion, or delayed gastric emptying both before and after PSM (P > 0.05).
conclusionThe use of the modified pancreatic remnant-gastric coverage in LDP effectively reduces the incidence of POPF and is both safe and feasible, making it a technique worth promoting.
