Title: The impact of pancreatic duct stent placement on the clinically relevant postoperative
pancreatic fistula rate for high-risk anastomoses: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Reviewer:  Jahnvi Dhar
Reviewer's report:
I read with great interest the article by Dai et al titled “The impact of pancreatic duct
stent placement on the clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula rate for high-risk
anastomoses: A systematic review and meta-analysis” and congratulate them for this study.
Six studies were analyzed for the same with no difference in POPF rates overall. The study has
been well conducted, analyzed and reported in the manuscript. Moreover, the SRMA has been
registered with PROSPERO as per guidelines.
I have following comments for the manuscript:
1. Please provide a sub-group analysis using the studies classified as low risk of bias (5 RCTs).
2. If there individual data of POPF rates for the type of resection techniques, I would suggest
the authors to provide that data, if feasible.
