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

Aim and background: Pancreatic pseudocysts (PPs) commonly occur as a complication of both acute and chronic pancreatitis. Surgical drainage is indicated when cysts are >6 cm, persist for more than 6 weeks, or cause symptoms or complications. This study aimed to assess and compare the outcomes of laparoscopic and open cystogastrostomy for PPs. Materials and methods: A retrospective comparative study was conducted in the Department of General Surgery at a tertiary care hospital, including 64 patients diagnosed with PPs. Among them, 22 patients underwent laparoscopic and 42 patients underwent open cystogastrostomy procedures. Parameters such as operative time, pain score, blood loss, oral intake, drain duration, complications, hospital stay, and recurrence were assessed. A Results: Mean age was 35.86 ± 13.49 years in the laparoscopic group and 41.79 ± 11.64 years in the open group ( Conclusion: Laparoscopic cystogastrostomy demonstrated superior short-term outcomes, reduced blood loss, less pain, earlier recovery, and shorter hospitalization than open surgery, with equivalent safety and recurrence rates. Clinical significance: Laparoscopic cystogastrostomy provides safer recovery with less pain, less blood loss, and shorter hospital stay, without increasing complications. It supports the wider use of minimally invasive surgery for PPs. How to cite this article: Baig MM, Chidambaranathan S, Mohankumar S.
