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

Background: Obesity may contribute to pancreatic cancer development via metabolic modulation. The number of obese patients with pancreatic cancer is expected to increase worldwide. Herein, we investigated the effects of obesity on patients with pancreatic head cancer who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). Methods: We reviewed 141 consecutive PDs and compared clinicopathological factors and survival outcomes in obese (O: 29 patients) or non-obese (N: 112 patients) groups. Obesity was defined as a body mass index > 25 kg/m Results: Intraoperative bleeding was higher in the O group than in the N group (450 vs. 280 mL, Conclusions: Obesity was associated with early recurrence in patients undergoing PD for pancreatic head cancer.
