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

backgroundWith regard to laparoscopic approach, the objective arises whether standard multiorgan Whipple resection (PD) or parenchyma-sparing procedures (DPPHRt) are the most qualified surgical treatments for benign, premalignant neoplasms.

methodsPubmed, Embase, Medline, and Cochrane Libraries were searched for studies reporting results and late outcomes after laparoscopic DPPHRt (L-DPPHRt) and laparoscopic PD (L-PD) for benign tumors. Data of 19 cohort studies including 459 patients were assessed. Results of six controlled trials comprising 129 L-DPPHRt and 205 L-PD for benign neoplasms were compared.

resultsL-DPPHRt was performed for 123 IPMNs, 44 MCNs, 98 SPNs, 102 SCNs, and 59 PNETs. 90-day mortality was 2 of 459 patients (0.43%). Pancreatic fistula B/C occurred in 83 patients (18.08%) and biliary fistula in 35 patients (7.62%). Incidence of POPF B + C following complete and incomplete L-DPPHRt was 36/256 pats. (14.06%) and 40/167 pats. (23.95%) (p = 0.030), respectively. LHS was 14.24 days (mean). Laparoscopic total DPPHR unveiled very low risk of hospital mortality (1/459 pats.;0.21%), reoperation (9/364 pats.;2.47%), DGE (14/280 pats.;5.0%), CBD stenosis (2/459 pats.;0.43%), and ischemic lesion of CBD (2/459 pats.;0.43%). Comparing 129 L-DPPHRt with 205 L-PD patients revealed overall mean values of 239. vs. 343 min. for OP time and 128 ml vs. 240 ml for estimated blood loss. Meta analysis using standardized mean difference (SMD) demonstrated these differences to be significant (OP time: SMD - 1.20, 95% CI - 2.08 to 0.31; p = 0.008; blood loss: SMD - 1.77, 95% CI - 2.87 to - 0.66; p = 0.002). L-DPPHRt was associated with better intraoperative and early postoperative performance.

conclusionsLaparoscopic DPPHR for cystic neoplasms and PNETs is a low-risk procedure leading to cure of patients. L-DPPHRt accomplishes the most appropriate goals for treatment of patients with benign, premalignant, cystic neoplasms, and PNETs (> 2 cm) of the pancreatic head.
