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

abstractLaparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD) is a minimally invasive approach for pancreatic head and ampullary tumours, with pancreaticojejunostomy (PJ) critically influencing post-operative outcomes. This study aimed to compare a modified continuous single-layer PJ technique with the conventional two-layer method in LPD. A retrospective cohort study of 22 patients undergoing LPD compared the surgical outcomes between the modified group ( n = 12) and the conventional group ( n = 10). Baseline characteristics were well-matched between the two groups. The modified group demonstrated significantly shorter anastomosis time (19.08 vs. 23.1 min, P < 0.001) and lower abdominal infection rates (0 vs. 3 cases, P = 0.041). No significant differences were observed in clinically relevant post-operative pancreatic fistula or bleeding. Conclusively, the modified continuous single-layer PJ technique appears safe and feasible, offering efficiency advantages without compromising short-term outcomes. However, large-scale randomised controlled trials are warranted to validate safety, efficacy and long-term prognostic implications.
