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
objectivePostpancreatectomy Hemorrhage (PPH) is a severe complication after Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). This study aims to investigate the predictors and develop a nomogram to predict grade B/C PPH.
methodsData were collected from patients who underwent PD at the Department of General Surgery of the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University from January 2016 to December 2023. These patients were then randomly divided into a training set and a validation set. Logistic regression analysis was performed to investigate the predictors and develop a nomogram. The model's discriminative ability was evaluated using the Area Under Curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic, calibration was evaluated using calibration curves, clinical utility was evaluated using decision curve analysis, and generalizability was evaluated by examining model's performance in the validation set. SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) were used to interpret feature contributions and visualize the model's decision logic.
resultsPreoperative Prothrombin Time (PT), preoperative Total Bilirubin (TB) (≥171 μmol/L), Postoperative Pancreatic Fistula (POPF), and Postoperative Biliary Fistula (POBF) were independent predictors of grade B/C PPH. The AUC values were 0.848 and 0.721 in the training set and the validation set, respectively. The model demonstrated satisfactory discriminative ability, calibration, clinical utility, and generalizability. SHAP indicated that POPF was the most influential predictor.
conclusionsPreoperative PT, preoperative TB (≥ 171 μmol/L), POPF, and POBF were identified as independent predictors of grade B/C PPH, and SHAP indicated the importance of POPF. The nomogram based on these predictors can help clinicians predict grade B/C PPH.
