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: Although mortality after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) has decreased, morbidity remains high. The Modified Frailty Index (mFI) and hand grip strength (HGS) assessed preoperatively have been shown to predict postoperative morbidity and mortality after PD in retrospective studies. Our study aimed to evaluate the role of mFI and HGS in predicting outcomes following PD. Methods: A prospective observational study conducted from June 2021 to March 2023 enrolled all consecutive patients undergoing PD. Preoperatively, patient characteristics, mFI, and HGS were calculated. Postoperative complications were graded according to the Clavien-Dindo (CD) classification. The statistical association between these complications with high mFI and weak HGS was analyzed. Results: A total of 180 patients were enrolled in the study. Major complications (CD grade ≥ 3) and 90-day mortality occurred in 10.5% and 3.3% of patients, respectively. The proportion of patients with weak HGS was significantly higher among those who developed major complications (14 of 19) compared to those who did not (28 of 161) ( Conclusions: HGS is a simple tool used preoperatively to assess functional sarcopenia and has been identified as an independent predictor of major complications following PD.
