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

Radiological assessment following pancreaticoduodenectomy is critical for the prompt diagnosis and management of postoperative complications, significantly influencing patient outcomes. Pancreaticoduodenectomy, or the Whipple procedure, is the standard surgical intervention for pancreatic and periampullary malignancies, but it involves notable risks, especially from complications like fistulas, bleeding, or leakage. Cross-sectional imaging, particularly contrast-enhanced computed tomography, serves as the primary diagnostic tool due to its rapid acquisition, high resolution, and effective delineation of postoperative anatomy and complications. Magnetic resonance imaging (with cholangiopancreatography and hepatobiliary contrast agents) complements CT by providing superior contrast resolution for specific complications, notably in the biliary system and pancreatic duct. This narrative review discusses various imaging techniques and their applications, highlighting characteristic radiological features of common postoperative complications. It underscores the importance of a multidisciplinary approach, emphasizing close collaboration between radiologists and surgeons to optimize surgical decision-making and improve patient management post-pancreatic surgery.
