Mesenteric sparing approach for advanced nodal extent in small intestinal neuroendocrine tumors. Is there a limit to the vascular resection in order to avoid creating a short small bowel syndrome? An anatomic research study.

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.
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
purposeBy selectively perfusing the first three jejunal arteries (JA), we aim to assess the individual perfusion length of small bowel (SB) and its impact on nodal resection in stage III-up small-intestinal neuroendocrine tumors (SI-NET).
methodsOur anatomical research protocol implies a midline laparotomy and three measures of the SB length. We then perform a classical anterior approach of the superior mesenteric vessels. We carry on with the complete dissection and checking of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) in order to identify the first three JA. Then we selectively perfuse each artery with colored latex solutions and measure the length of small bowel perfused respectively.
resultsWe conducted our protocol on six cadaveric subjects. Mean(SD) SB length was 413(5.7), 535(13.2), 485(15), 353(25.1), 730(17.3) and 525(16° cm respectively from subject one to six. Most JA originated from the left side of the SMA. The first JA originated from its posterior wall in two subjects. Mean(SD) distance of origin of the first three JA was 4.6(1.3)cm, 6(1.1)cm and 7.1(0.9)cm respectively. Mean(SD) diameter of SMA was 10.8(3.3)mm. Mean diameter of the three first JA was 4(1.4)mm, 4(1.5)mm and 5(1.2)mm respectively. Mean(SD) SB length perfused by first and second JA was 224(14.9)cm, 175(8.6)cm, 238.3(7.6)cm, 84.3(5.1)cm, 233.3(5.8)cm and 218.3(10.4)cm respectively from subject one to six.
conclusionWe observed a trend suggesting that the first and second JA may sustain a SB length beyond the viable 1.5 m limit, implying the feasibility of stage III-up SI-NET resection with just two JA.
