Significance of Self-Expandable Metallic Stent for Postoperative Intra-Abdominal Infection After Pancreatoduodenectomy in Patients With a Hard Pancreas.

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
Background: Self-expandable metal stents (SEMS) are often used for preoperative biliary drainage in pancreatoduodenectomy (PD); however, their impact on postoperative intra-abdominal infection (POAI) remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical significance of SEMS in relation to POAI. Methods: The data of 314 consecutive patients who underwent elective PD between January 2018 and May 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were categorized by biliary drainage method (NON: no preoperative biliary drainage, PS: plastic stent, or SEMS), and the associations with POAI were assessed. Bile and drainage fluid cultures were microbiologically examined. Results: Soft pancreatic texture and preoperative biliary drainage were independently associated with POAI. In the hard pancreas subgroup undergoing preoperative biliary drainage ( Conclusion: SEMS placement was associated with an increased risk of POAI in patients with a hard pancreas, who are unlikely to develop POPF. Bile cultures may assist in predicting the causative organisms of POAI in patients who undergo preoperative biliary drainage.
