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

backgroundDelayed gastric emptying (DGE) is a frequent complication of pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) and is associated with prolonged hospital stay, readmission, increased hospital costs and decreased quality of life. However, the pathophysiology of DGE remains unclear.

methodsThis is a retrospective study of patients who underwent PD for pancreatic or periampullary tumours. All these patients were operated between January 2012 and February 2023. The patients were divided into four groups according to the development of DGE after PD: No DGE, DGE grade A, DGE grade B and DGE grade C. The groups were compared in terms of outcomes and complications. We also analysed the preoperative and perioperative risk factors for DGE development.

resultsBetween January 2012 and February 2023, a total of 250 patients underwent PD. These patients were divided into four groups: No DGE (

conclusionsPOPF B/C is a risk factor for grade B/C DGE. Prevention of surgical complications and early treatment could contribute to the decreased incidence of DGE.
