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

Objective: To identify a distal pancreatectomy (DP) surgical procedure with a low risk for fistula. Summary Background Data: Common use of computed tomography (CT) increases detection of pancreatic lesions early or incidentally. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed data from 63 patients with DP between 2000 and 2021. Fifty-three patients were diagnosed with tumors and 10 without. The pancreatic thickness at the resection site was measured on CT before surgery. We compared the postoperative outcomes of patients with and without postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF). Results: Twenty-six patients (41%) were male, and the mean age was 54 ± 15  years. Patients with severe POPF had poorer outcomes, including severe complications, readmission, resurgery, and longer hospital stays than did those without ( Conclusions: DP has a high leakage rate, with some morbidity and mortality. DP thickness >13.2 mm was associated with a higher risk of POPF. Gastrointestinal anastomosis stapling, especially using the double clamping technique, is safe and results in less POPF, as shown in both clinical and cadaveric studies.
