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

Postoperative pancreatic fistula remains a challenging complication after pancreaticoduodenectomy. Addressing this issue requires effective strategies to promote anastomotic healing. In this study, we developed a novel hydrogel designed to close pancreaticoenteric anastomosis after pancreaticoduodenectomy. The hydrogel-composed of polyvinyl alcohol, chitosan, and dopamine-modified oxidized hyaluronic acid-exhibited excellent antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and wound healing properties. It was designed to conform well to the anastomotic site for clinical application. The hydrogel demonstrated good biocompatibility, appropriate mechanical strength, low swelling, and strong adhesive properties, meeting specific requirements for pancreaticoenteric anastomosis environments. Moreover, by activating the cell cycle, it promoted cell proliferation and migration, thereby accelerating anastomotic closure. Addition of the potent broad-spectrum antibiotic meropenem further enhanced its antibacterial efficacy, targeting common microbial species involved in delayed healing and fistula formation after pancreatic surgery. In a rat model of pancreatic fistula, the hydrogel effectively sealed the anastomosis, filled potential suture gaps, and exerted antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and tissue regeneration-promoting effects around the anastomotic site. Therefore, this hydrogel, with its ideal degradation properties, shows promising application prospects in closing pancreaticoenteric anastomosis following pancreaticoduodenectomy, thereby offering an effective solution to reduce complications such as pancreatic fistula after pancreatic surgery.
