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

Purpose: Minimally invasive pancreaticoduodenectomy (MIPD) is a complex procedure with a steep learning curve requiring advanced training and surgical proficiency. YouTube (Google LLC) is a widely used platform for surgical education; however, the quality of MIPD videos varies significantly. This study evaluates the educational quality of MIPD videos on YouTube and identifies characteristics of high-quality instructional content. Methods: A YouTube search was conducted on November 11, 2024, using the following 4 keywords: "laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy," "laparoscopic Whipple," "robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy," and "robotic Whipple." Among 200 screened videos, 66 met the inclusion criteria. Videos were evaluated using the Laparoscopic Video Educational Guidelines and Standards (LAP-VEGaS) guidelines (0-18) and an MIPD-specific scoring system (0-12). Results: The quality of YouTube MIPD videos varied considerably. Although videos from academic societies had more views, they did not consistently have higher scores. The highest-rated videos featured comprehensive elements such as preoperative imaging, anatomical annotations, detailed surgical technique, and structured narration. Top-performing videos achieved scores of up to 16/18 (LAP-VEGaS score) and 12/12 (MIPD-specific score). Conclusion: Despite increased reliance on YouTube for surgical education, high-quality MIPD content remains scarce. Academic societies and surgical societies should actively contribute to the production and curation of standardized, high-quality videos to support global surgical training and improve outcomes.
