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

Backgrounds/Aims: Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is a surgical procedure commonly used for periampullary and pancreatic head tumors. Despite surgical advancements, postoperative morbidity remains substantial, with delayed gastric emptying (DGE) being a frequent complication. This prospective study evaluates the impact of Braun enteroenterostomy (BE) on DGE. Methods: Twenty-five consecutive patients undergoing PD were enrolled between May 2023 and August 2024. The retrospective control group consisted of 72 patients who underwent standard PD during the previous four years. The primary outcome measured was the incidence of DGE. Secondary outcomes included the occurrence of postoperative complications and length of stay. Results: The overall incidence of DGE was lower in the Braun group (33.3%) compared to the non-Braun group (46.8%) ( Conclusions: Incorporating BE during PD correlates with a lower incidence of DGE, especially for Grades B and C, as well as a reduced rate of Grade B POPF and a shorter postoperative hospital stay.
