Bibliometric analysis of postoperative pancreatic fistula following pancreaticoduodenectomy (2006-2024): current trends and future directions.
Article in Langenbeck's archives of surgery, 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
purposePostoperative pancreatic fistula is a common and serious complication after pancreaticoduodenectomy that significantly impairs patient recovery and prognosis. Despite extensive research, the field lacks systematic bibliometric visualization analyses, which hinders comprehensive understanding of its research landscape, evolutionary trends and key advancements. This study aims to address this gap by systematically analyzing relevant literature to clarify global research patterns and emerging directions.
methodsA bibliometric analysis was conducted on literature regarding postoperative pancreatic fistula after pancreaticoduodenectomy published from January 2006 to December 2024. Data were retrieved from Web of Science Core Collection and Scopus databases. After removing duplicates, filtering by document type, language and time, and assessing eligibility, 4295 records were included. VOSviewer and Microsoft Excel were used to analyze publication trends, collaboration networks, core author contributions, keyword clustering and co-citation networks.
resultsThe number of publications increased steadily with original research articles dominating. Japan the United States China Italy and Germany were the top contributing countries while England had the highest average citation rate per article. University of Verona, Universiteit van Amsterdam, and Heidelberg University were key contributing institutions. Core research themes included postoperative pancreatic fistula classification and definition, risk factors, preventive measures, and surgical technique comparison.
conclusionThis study comprehensively maps the global research landscape and trends of postoperative pancreatic fistula after pancreaticoduodenectomy. The findings provide valuable insights for identifying research hotspots and guiding future studies, thereby promoting standardized and systematic advancement in this field.
