Management of Pancreatectomy for Pancreatic Cancer in a Patient With Annular Portal Pancreas: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Portal annular pancreas (PAP) is one of the rare pancreatic anomalies in which the pancreatic parenchyma surrounds the portal vein (PV) or superior mesenteric vein (SMV), accounting for only around a few proportions of all patients. PAP is thought to be associated with the high risk of postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) after pancreatectomy. We describe our experience of a case with PAP and review the literature on pancreatectomy in patients with PAP. A 72-year-old male presented to our department with a pancreatic body mass with a history of previous abdominal surgeries, who underwent distal pancreatectomy (DP) with lymphadenectomy following neoadjuvant chemotherapy with gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel. PAP was identified during surgery, which was not found in computed tomography scans and other modalities in the previous examinations. The annular pancreas was resected using tri-staplers with polyglycolic acid (PGA) sheets. His postoperative course was uneventful without POPF, and he was discharged on postoperative day 11. In conclusion, when PAP is suspected in patients with pancreatic cancer, understanding the accurate anatomy of the pancreas is essential to determine the surgical technique and a suitable choice of device for the transection of pancreatic parenchyma for reducing POPF.
