Preoperative anxiety state is an independent risk factor for delayed gastric emptying after pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy: a single-center retrospective case-control study.

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
backgroundDelayed gastric emptying (DGE) is one of the prevalent complications following pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy (PPPD). Anxiety is one of the common psychological comorbidities among tumor patients. However, its influence on the development of DGE post-PPPD remains elusive. Thus, this study aimed to explore the relationship between anxiety states and the incidence of DGE after PPPD.
methodsThis single-center, retrospective case-control study enrolled 150 patients who underwent PPPD between January 2020 and December 2022. Preoperative anxiety state was assessed using the Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA), and patients were stratified into two groups based on the presence or absence of DGE. Lastly, risk factors for DGE were analyzed based on clinical data, laboratory indicators, postoperative complications, and other indicators.
resultsThe incidence of postoperative DGE was 28.67%. Patients who developed DGE had significantly higher body mass index (BMI) (23.50 ± 3.85 vs 22.20 ± 2.39,
conclusionAnxiety state, BMI, hypertension, preoperative blood lipid levels, and albumin level on the third day after surgery were related to the occurrence of DGE after PPPD. Among them, anxiety state was identified as an independent risk factor for DGE. These findings highlight the need for implementing timely and appropriate psychological interventions in patients undergoing PPPD to minimize the risk of postoperative DGE.
