Lessons learned from follow up of spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy with artery saving and vein sacrificing.
Article in Gland surgery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Background: The Warshaw method as a technique for spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy (SPDP) carries the risk of splenic infarction following splenic artery ligation. This study introduces a modified Warshaw method, which preserves the splenic artery while sacrificing the splenic vein, and compares its outcomes with the traditional Warshaw method. Methods: According to the bleeding status during vessel dissection, either the Warshaw method (group W) or the modified Warshaw method (group MW) was used. Guided by preoperative imaging, we utilized the planned modified Warshaw method (group PMW) when the splenic vein was embedded in the pancreatic parenchyma. Results: Group MW demonstrated a lower incidence of splenic infarction and engorged gastric collaterals than group W (6.3% Conclusions: The planned modified Warshaw method is an efficient and safe technique, resulting in lower estimated blood loss and favorable outcomes concerning splenic infarction and gastric collaterals than the Warshaw method without inducing congestive splenomegaly.
