Analysis of Hepatic Artery Reconstruction in Advanced Pancreatic Head Cancer.
Article in Plastic and reconstructive surgery. Global open, 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
Background: Hepatic artery (HA) reconstruction is occasionally required in pancreatic head cancer with arterial involvement. With recent advances in combination chemotherapy, conversion surgery has become feasible for selected patients. This study evaluates the surgical techniques, postoperative outcomes, and survival of patients who underwent pancreatic resection with HA reconstruction. Methods: A retrospective review was conducted of 14 patients who underwent pancreatic resection with HA reconstruction at Saitama Cancer Center from 2012 to 2024. Clinical variables included demographics, tumor pathology, patterns of arterial invasion, reconstruction methods, anastomosis time, and complications. Patients were classified into 2 groups: those with common/proper HA invasion and those with replaced right HA invasion. Results: The cohort included 9 men and 5 women (mean age, 71.9 y). Six patients had common/proper HA invasion, and 8 had replaced right HA invasion. The overall median anastomosis time was 18 minutes 16 seconds. No anastomosis-related complications occurred, and hepatic arterial flow was patent in all patients. Conclusions: Meticulous microsurgical HA reconstruction enables safe arterial resection in selected patients with advanced pancreatic cancer. When combined with appropriate preoperative therapy and multidisciplinary management, this approach allows oncologically curative resection and may contribute to improved long-term survival.
