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
backgroundPancreatic surgery is one of the most challenging and complex types of surgery. Mortality rates for trauma-induced resective pancreatic surgery are higher than those for elective pancreatic surgical procedures. Factors that increase mortality due to high-energy trauma include additional organ damage and hypovolemic shock, and complications of resective surgery can also be considered. There are few studies on this in the literature. This study aims to analyze resective pancreatic surgery outcomes and mortality patterns at a tertiary high-volume trauma and hepatobiliary surgery center.
methodsPatients who underwent resection due to pancreatic trauma between 2019 and 2024 were retrospectively reviewed. Preoperative clinical findings, laboratory tests, and radiologic images were evaluated, and trauma scores were calculated. The surgeries, as well as postoperative morbidities and mortalities, were examined. Mortality within the first three days postoperatively was considered early, while mortality occurring thereafter was classified as late operative mortality.
resultsAccording to the American Association for the Surgery of Trauma grading, 10 patients (55.5%) had Grade 4-5 blunt trauma, and 4 patients (22.2%) each had Grade 3 blunt trauma and Grade 4-5 penetrating trauma. Furthermore, 7 of the operated patients (38.88%) had fatal outcomes. The mortality rates were 57.14% for hemorrhagic shock-related deaths, 14.28% for pancreatic fistula-related deaths, and 28.56% for deaths unrelated to pancreatic fistulas.
conclusionIn our study, early mortality was particularly high in patients presenting with shock from vascular injury, while late-term mortality was due to sepsis from pancreatic fistula and other complications. Effective management of shock at the time of arrival and postoperative complication management can help reduce morbidity and mortality in trauma-related pancreatic resections.
