Comparison of Pancreatic Fistula Between Robotic-Assisted and Open Pancreatoduodenectomy: A Comprehensive Evaluation Using an Alternative Fistula Risk Score.
Article in Journal of hepato-biliary-pancreatic sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundRobotic-assisted pancreatoduodenectomy (RPD) offers ergonomic advantages, yet its effect on pancreatic fistula risk remains unclear. This study evaluated RPD safety using the alternative fistula risk score (aFRS).
methodsWe retrospectively reviewed the pancreatoduodenectomy database at Seoul National University Hospital (2014-2023), comparing RPD with open pancreatoduodenectomy (OPD) in a 1:1 aFRS probability-matched analysis. Baseline characteristics and outcomes were compared overall and by aFRS risk groups.
resultsIn the matched cohort, RPD patients had a similar BMI but a higher incidence of soft pancreatic texture, smaller ducts, and increased aFRS probability compared to OPD. Overall, clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula (CR-POPF) rates were similar (11% vs. 10%, p = 0.84). However, RPD had lower rates of delayed gastric emptying (3.1% vs. 5.4%, p = 0.024) and wound complications (1.9% vs. 5.5%, p < 0.001). Notably, in the high-risk aFRS group, RPD demonstrated significantly lower CR-POPF rates both before (12% vs. 18%, p = 0.049) and after matching (11% vs. 17%, p = 0.042).
conclusionRPD is a safe and feasible approach, offering particular benefits in reducing CR-POPF among high-risk patients.
