Robotic Distal Gastrectomy with D2 Lymphadenectomy for Gastric Cancer in a Patient with an Unclassifiable Celiac Arterial Anomaly: A Case Report.
Article in Surgical case reports, 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
introductionSuprapancreatic lymph node dissection during gastric cancer surgery is technically challenging, particularly in the presence of celiac arterial system-related vascular anomalies. However, some rare arterial configurations do not clearly fit within existing classification systems, making surgical planning difficult. Herein, we report a case of gastric cancer with an unclassifiable celiac arterial anomaly that was managed using a robotic approach. CASE PRESENTATION: A 77-year-old woman presented with several weeks of persistent epigastric pain and was referred to our hospital. Imaging studies revealed gastric cancer and an unusual vascular anatomy in which the left gastric, splenic, common hepatic, and superior mesenteric arteries arose independently from the abdominal aorta, with the common hepatic artery coursing dorsal to the portal vein. The patient underwent robotic distal gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy. Preoperative 3D-CTA enabled accurate anatomical assessment. Portal vein taping facilitated safe suprapancreatic lymph node dissection. The postoperative course was uneventful.
conclusionsThis case demonstrates that even unclassifiable vascular anomalies can be safely managed with detailed preoperative anatomical assessment and appropriate intraoperative strategies, providing a practical approach for surgical decision-making in anatomically complex gastric cancer cases.
