A Comparative Analysis of Open Versus Minimally Invasive Pancreatoduodenectomies.
Article in Journal of surgical oncology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 2 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 AND
objectivesPancreatoduodenectomy (PD) has been associated with significant morbidity and mortality. To reduce morbidity, minimally invasive pancreatoduodenectomies (MIPD) have become more prevalent. We aimed to compare short-term survival and complications for open (OPD) versus MIPD and to assess the relationship between operative approach and operative time on outcomes.
methodsPatients undergoing PD between 2017 and 2020 were identified within the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP). The primary outcome was operative time, and the secondary outcomes were death at 30 days, reoperation, readmission, and NSQIP-identified 30-day postoperative complications. A multivariable logistic regression was performed.
resultsA total of 14 977 PDs were performed from 2017 to 2020. MIPD increased from less than 8% of pancreatoduodenectomies performed in 2017 to over 10% of PD by 2020. Of the MIPD cohort, 62% were robotic, and 38% were laparoscopic, with robotic surgery becoming most prevalent by the end of the study period. MIPD was associated with significantly longer operative times than OPD (p < 0.01). MIPD was associated with decreased odds of postoperative bleeding and surgical site infection (p < 0.01), but higher odds of death at 30 days.
conclusionsMIPD has been shown to have improved postoperative outcomes compared to OPD but is associated with longer operative times, which can be associated with increased complications.
