Incidence and appropriate management of intraoperative arterial injuries during pancreatoduodenectomy.
Article in Surgery today, 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
backgroundIntraoperative arterial injury during pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) can cause severe ischemic complications. This study examined the perioperative factors affecting these injuries and their management.
methodsOf the 1620 PDs performed between 2002 and 2023, 17 patients (1.0%) underwent concomitant reconstruction due to intraoperative arterial injury. The perioperative findings, including details of the injury, reconstruction, and complications, were reviewed. To identify the risk factors for injury, 11 of the 17 patients were compared with a control group of 384 PDs performed by board-certified surgeons.
resultsThe frequency of repeated preoperative biliary drainage was higher in patients with intraoperative arterial injury (odds ratio, 9.12; 95% confidence interval, 0.84-54.7; P = 0.034). The injured arteries included the right hepatic artery (RHA, n = 4), replaced RHA (n = 3), origin of the gastroduodenal artery (n = 2), proper hepatic artery (n = 2), bifurcation of the right anterior and posterior hepatic arteries (n = 2), and superior mesenteric artery (n = 1). All patients underwent immediate reconstructions. Injury-related complications occurred in two patients: one with a liver abscess and the other with a pseudoaneurysm followed by a liver abscess.
conclusionConcomitant arterial reconstruction may reduce the risk of severe complications. Patients who have undergone repeated preoperative biliary drainage may require more vigilance in identifying the arterial anatomy.
