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

Complete oncological resection of pancreatic cancer remains the cornerstone in treatment of pancreatic cancer. Anatomical relations to major vessels continue to play an ongoing important role in the decision-making regarding treatment options in pancreatic cancer. Despite concomitant venous resections being routinely performed in major centers, arterial resections remain controversial. The aim of this study was to compare the short- and long-term outcomes of pancreatic cancer surgery with concomitant arterial resections to standard non-arterial resections from modern studies. We included studies comparing pancreatic cancer surgery with arterial resections to standard non-arterial surgery for pancreatic cancer published from 2018 to 2024. A total of seven articles involving 5465 patients met the inclusion criteria and were included for analysis. Arterial resections are associated with a greater risk of mortality compared to standard resections (Risk ratio (RR): 3.28; 95% confidence interval (CI) [0.75-14.46];
