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

Introduction: Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) is a common complication associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the dynamic change in pre- and post-operative platelet counts as a predictor of POPF. Material and methods: A retrospective study was conducted with 133 patients who underwent pancreatectomy between 1.1.2018 and 31.12.2022. Data were analysed with regard to epidemiologic parameters, operations performed, POPF grading A-C, postoperative complications management, duration of hospital stay, and overall morbidity and mortality, as well as clinical outcomes and POPF-associated mortality. Ratios of postoperative platelet values (nominator) to preoperative platelet values (denominator) were assessed for postoperative days 1-9. The ratios were analysed using logistic regression models to examine their relationship with POPF, clinically significant POPF, and POPF grading. Results: Out of the 133 patients, POPF occurred in 69 (52%) patients, with clinically significant POPF in 41 (31%); POPF grade A or biochemical leak (BL) in 28 (21%); POPF grade B in 29 (22%); and POPF grade C (Reoperation or mortality) in 12 (9%). Higher platelet counts on postoperative day 1 were associated with an increased likelihood of experiencing POPF, compared to lower platelet counts ( Conclusions: An increase in platelets on postoperative day 1 may serve as a clinically useful predictor for POPF.
