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

With improvements in surgical technique and advances in pancreatic endocrine and exocrine replacement therapy, the indications for, and threshold to perform, total or completion pancreatectomy in the modern surgical era are ever evolving. The following review will evaluate such indications for pancreatic cancer including pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms. The authors also review the literature on oncologic outcomes of total and completion pancreatectomy for pancreatic cancer. Finally, they discuss the quality of life and postoperative management of the a-pancreatic state.
