Figure 1 Forest plot of perioperative outcomes comparing laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy vs open pancreaticoduodenectomy.
The left panel shows MD for continuous outcomes (operative time, blood loss, length of stay), with the right panel displaying log odds ratios for binary outcomes (transfusion, complications, pancreatic fistula, delayed gastric emptying, readmission, mortality). Points represent estimates, with horizontal bars indicating 95% confidence intervals. P-values for each outcome are shown. LOS: Length of stay; CD: Clavien-Dindo; DGE: Delayed gastric emptying; LPD: Laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy; OPD: Open pancreaticoduodenectomy; OR: Odds ratio; CI: Confidence interval.
