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

backgroundRed blood cell distribution width (RDW) is associated with the development and progression of various diseases.

aimTo explore the association between pretreatment RDW and short-term outcomes after laparoscopic pancreatoduodenectomy (LPD).

methodsA total of 804 consecutive patients who underwent LPD at our hospital between March 2017 and November 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Correlations between pretreatment RDW and clinicopathological characteristics and short-term outcomes were investigated.

resultsPatients with higher pretreatment RDW were older, had higher Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group scores and were associated with poorer short-term outcomes than those with normal RDW. High pretreatment RDW was an independent risk factor for postoperative complications (POCs) (hazard ratio = 2.973, 95% confidence interval: 2.032-4.350,

conclusionPretreatment RDW was a special parameter for patients who underwent LPD. It was associated with malnutrition, severe inflammatory status and poorer short-term outcomes. RDW could be a surrogate marker for nutritional and inflammatory status in identifying patients who were at high risk of developing POCs after LPD.
