Artery-first Approach for Distal Pancreatectomy with Celiac Axis Resection.
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
backgroundDistal pancreatectomy with celiac axis resection (DP-CAR) is essential for achieving R0 resection in pancreatic body cancer but carries mortality rates up to 11%.
methodsThis retrospective, single-center study analyzed consecutive patients undergoing artery-first DP-CAR between 2019 and 2025. The surgical technique utilizes a right-sided approach following a Kocher maneuver. The superior mesenteric artery is isolated first. Subsequently, the celiac artery (CA) is taped, sparing the inferior phrenic artery, and clamped for early inflow control. Clinical and perioperative outcomes were analyzed.
resultsOf the 14 patients analyzed, the median operation time was 469 min, and the median blood loss was 286.5 mL. Early assessment of tumor resectability was achieved in all patients. Although early arterial inflow control was successfully achieved in the 12 patients, two patients were identified as statistical outliers regarding blood loss. In these cases, accidental release of the initial CA clamp as surgery progressed caused a loss of inflow control, leading to increased hemorrhage associated with intraoperative splenic congestion. R0 resection was achieved in all patients. The overall 90-day mortality rate was 0%.
conclusionsPrecise anatomical understanding is essential for the artery-first approach in DP-CAR. This approach may enable effective reduction of blood loss through early inflow control and early-stage assessment of tumor resectability.
