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

objectiveTo describe the surgical procedure for pancreaticoduodenectomy with choledochoduodenostomy and pancreaticojejunostomy for carcinoids of the common bile duct (CBD) in a cat and to report its outcomes. STUDY

designCase report. ANIMAL: A 6-year-old neutered male Munchkin cat.

methodsA small tissue plug causing CBD obstruction was surgically removed from a cat. The obstructive plug was diagnosed histopathologically as carcinoid. Nine months after initial surgery, the cat developed anorexia and vomiting. Diagnostic imaging revealed dilation of both the CBD and pancreatic duct, and the cat underwent a second surgery 11 months after the initial procedure. En bloc resection of the pancreatic body and duodenum, including the site of the CBD obstruction, was performed. Following the duodenal reconstruction with end-to-end anastomosis, the biliary system was rebuilt with end-to-side anastomosis, connecting the CBD's resected end to the duodenum. Pancreatojejunostomy of the distal end of the left pancreatic lobe and jejunum was performed to reconstruct the pancreatic duct.

resultsNo postoperative complications such as bile leakage, pancreatic fluid leakage, or pancreatitis were observed. Toceranib therapy was initiated postoperatively. The cat showed good general condition 524 days after the second surgery and exhibited favorable progress at the time of writing.

conclusionThis is the first report of a successful reconstructive surgery with choledochoduodenostomy and pancreatojejunostomy after en bloc resection of the pancreatic body and proximal duodenum in a cat with recurrent carcinoid-induced ductal obstruction. Pancreatic body duodenectomy may be a viable and effective option for managing pancreatic duct obstruction in cats.
