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.
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
Purpose: To evaluate the safety profiles of open pancreaticoduodenectomy (OPD) and laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD), and to analyze the respective advantages and disadvantages of various internal and external drainage techniques. Methods: All 260 patients successfully underwent laparoscopic or open PD. They were divided into laparoscopy and laparotomy groups by surgical approach, and into internal and external drainage groups by drainage method. Four subgroups were then formed: minimally invasive surgical internal drainage (MIS-ID) and minimally invasive surgical external drainage (MIS-ED), open surgical internal surgical drainage (OS-ID) and open surgical external drainage (OS-ED). Perioperative outcomes were compared across all groups and subgroups. Results: No significant differences were observed between the laparoscopy and laparotomy groups in patient characteristics ( Conclusion: LPD can be performed safely and effectively without increasing postoperative complications compared to OPD. During LPD, the choice between internal and external drainage does not significantly influence outcomes following PD. Overall, LPD represents a safe and effective surgical approach, demonstrating significant potential for widespread adoption and clinical application.
