Robotic pancreatoduodenectomy reduces grade B pancreatic fistula in patients with a small main pancreatic duct: a propensity score-matched study compared to laparoscopic pancreatoduodenectomy.
Article in Annals of medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
backgroundThe benefits of robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy (RPD) over laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD) remain less reported, this study aimed to evaluate the superiority of RPD over LPD.
methodsA retrospective 1:1 propensity score-matched (PSM) analysis of the characteristics and perioperative variables of patients who underwent RPD and LPD between January 2021 and June 2023 in a high-volume centre was performed.
resultsThe analysis included 193 patients who underwent RPD and 355 who underwent LPD. After PSM, 173 patients who underwent RPD were matched with 173 who underwent LPD cases. RPD was associated with a shorter operative time [341 (302-363) vs. 447 (380-510) min;
conclusionRPD is as safe and feasible a minimally invasive approach as LPD is. The robotic approach in pancreatoduodenectomy could decrease grade B pancreatic fistula rate in patients with a main pancreatic duct of small diameter and reduce the operative time, blood loss and postoperative hospital stays.
