A case of distal bile duct cancer in a patient with polysplenia syndrome and ventral pancreatic malrotation.
Article in Clinical journal of gastroenterology, 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
Polysplenia syndrome is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by visceral malposition associated with multiple spleens. In relation to the pancreas, reported abnormalities include the annular pancreas, as well as defects in the body, tail, or uncinate part of the pancreas. Here, we present a case of polysplenia syndrome with ventral pancreatic malrotation and distal bile duct cancer. The patient was a 64-year-old man who presented to our hospital with obstructive jaundice. After endoscopic drainage and an anatomical evaluation of the vasculature, a subtotal stomach-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy was performed for distal bile duct cancer. Polysplenia syndrome is associated with malposition of various organs and blood vessels, which varies from case to case. Therefore, understanding the anatomical variations in each patient is crucial before surgery. The accumulation of case reports will provide valuable information for the treatment of future cases. We report this valuable case along with a literature review.
