1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionCircumportal pancreas (CP) is a rare congenital anomaly in which pancreatic parenchyma encases the portal vein. CP poses significant technical challenges during pancreatic surgery, particularly in safely isolating the pancreas from the portal vein, determining the optimal transection line, and managing the pancreatic stump. This report describes a case of CP identified intraoperatively during a robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy (RPD), in which an extended resection was required to achieve a single pancreatic duct for safe reconstruction. CASE PRESENTATION: A 77-year-old man diagnosed with distal bile duct cancer underwent RPD using the

conclusionsWhen the MPD course is unclear in CP, extended resection represents a rational and safe surgical strategy to achieve single-duct reconstruction. Although such complex cases have traditionally been managed by open surgery, robotic surgery enables safe and minimally invasive pancreaticoduodenectomy even in anatomically challenging conditions. To our knowledge, this is the 1st reported case of robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy for type II CP.
