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

Background: Lactate is often elevated following major pancreatic surgery but the clinical relevance of this it not known. Methods: A retrospective study including 491 consecutive patients undergoing major pancreatic surgery. Lactate upon arrival to post anaesthesia unit (L Results: Median lactate values were: L01.7 mmol/L (IQR: 1.2 -2.6), LPOD11.3 mmol/L (IQR: 0.9 -1.9) and L Discussion: Plasma lactate elevation in common following pancreatic surgery; however, this is of limited clinical use to predict complications. The relatively higher lactate following total pancreatectomy might be due to hormonal deficits inherent to this procedure.
