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

backgroundDistal pancreatectomy with celiac axis resection (DP-CAR) with reconstruction of the left gastric artery (LGA) is a technically challenging procedure. The middle colic artery is commonly used for LGA reconstruction. This study highlights our novel arterial reconstruction of the LGA using the common hepatic artery (CHA) supplying the replaced left hepatic artery (rLHA) during DP-CAR. PATIENT AND

methodsA 65-year-old man diagnosed with locally advanced unresectable pancreatic body cancer underwent DP-CAR following systemic chemotherapy. As a rLHA arising from the LGA was present, arterial reconstruction was necessary.

resultsAfter confirming resectability, the CHA and LGA were encircled. Following division of the pancreas and radical lymphadenectomy, the origin of the celiac axis (CA) was divided. Subsequently, the CHA and LGA were transected and anastomosed. An indocyanine green fluorescence system was used to confirm adequate arterial blood supply and satisfactory tissue perfusion. Operative time was 215 min, with an estimated blood loss of 35 mL.

conclusionsThis study demonstrated a novel arterial reconstruction of the LGA supplying the rLHA during DP-CAR. The CHA may be a candidate for the reconstruction of the LGA in DP-CAR.
