Robotic Distal Splenopancreatectomy and Left Nephrectomy: Double Docking for En Bloc Resection of Pancreatic Cancer.
Article in Annals of surgical oncology, 2026. 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
backgroundRobotic approach has been demonstrated as a safe option for selected patients undergoing left pancreatectomy. PATIENT AND
methodsAn 81-year-old male patient was diagnosed with adenocarcinoma in the tail of the pancreas with renal infiltration. After completing neoadjuvant therapy with Gem-Abraxane, with a good response, a decision was made to perform resective surgery using a robotic approach. The teams of urology and pancreatic surgery collaborated to perform the procedure. The approach prioritized an en bloc resection with negative margin. Early identification of the renal hilum and kidney mobilization from the inferior and lateral margin facilitated further en bloc mobilization.
resultsFollowing partial kidney mobilization, the patient's position and trocar placement were modified. The splenic artery was sectioned, and the pancreatic body was mobilised. It was then sectioned to the left of the pancreatic neck, together with the splenic vein, using an endostapler. Finally, the pancreatic tail, upper renal pole, and spleen were mobilized en bloc without detaching the three organs. The patient was discharged on postoperative day 6. Pathology results showed a T4 pancreatic adenocarcinoma with kidney invasion and two out of 26 lymph nodes involved.
conclusionsThe involvement of a multidisciplinary team and the option of re-docking in complex robotic procedures reduces the conversion risk and offers patients benefits by ensuring oncological radicality.
