Barbed Suture for Pancreaticojejunal Anastomosis: An Ally Against Pancreatic Fistula.
Article in Journal of surgical oncology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is the standard treatment for resectable pancreatic head disease. The pancreatic anastomosis constitutes the mainstay of this procedure and is one of the drivers of its morbidity. Despite the development of a variety of techniques for pancreaticojejunostomy or pancreaticogastrostomy, high rates of postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF), hampering early and fast patient recovery, are still reported. Here, based on the analysis of a cohort of 16 patients operated over 2 years, we describe a pancreaticojejunal anastomosis technique taking advantage of unidirectional barbed sutures. Although six of these patients were classified as "high risk," according to updated International Study Group of Pancreatic Fistula (ISGPS) recommendations, we only observed one grade B POPF requiring antibiotic treatment, prolonged fasting and parenteral nutrition during the postoperative course. While larger studies are necessary to clarify this issue, our data suggests that barbed sutures could help prevent POPF development following PD.
