Impact of Structured Postoperative Surveillance on Survival in Patients with Resected Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma.

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
backgroundThis study aimed to investigate whether structured surveillance after resection of PDAC has an impact on survival.
methods206 patients who underwent PDAC resection at the University Hospital Erlangen between 2005 and 2020 and survived for at least 90 days postoperatively were included in this retrospective study. The impact of surveillance (structured vs. no structured surveillance) respectively of recurrence patterns (recurrence in follow-up vs. symptomatic recurrence) on overall and disease-free survival was investigated.
resultsA total of 157 patients (76%) participated in a structured surveillance program after pancreatic resection. During a mean follow-up of 28.5 months, 137 patients (67%) developed recurrence. Patients with structured surveillance showed significantly better outcomes for overall survival after surgery (OSaS: 29.2 months with structured surveillance vs. 16.4 months without,
conclusionThis study provides evidence that structured surveillance after PDAC resection is beneficial for both overall and disease-free survival. However, randomized studies are needed to confirm the positive impact of structured surveillance programs on survival after pancreatic resection.
