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

We present three cases of spleen-preserving total pancreatectomy using the Warshaw technique for neoplasms of the pancreatic head. The first case involved a 5 cm mucinous pancreatic neoplasm invading the middle colic artery. The second case featured a patient with a BMI of 40 and adenocarcinoma of the pancreatic head. The third case involved a serous cystadenoma in the pancreatic head in a patient with a history of gastric surgery for a gastric ulcer, requiring surgical intervention due to weight loss and abdominal symptoms. These cases highlight the surgical nuances and benefits of the Warshaw technique, particularly its role in preserving splenic blood supply and reducing postoperative complications.
