Preduodenal portal vein, intestinal malrotation, polysplenia, and interruption of the inferior vena cava: a review of anatomical anomalies associated with gastric cancer.
Review in Surgical and radiologic anatomy : SRA, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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
purposeAnatomical anomalies of visceral organs associated with gastric cancer are extremely rare. Here, we report a case of preduodenal portal vein (PDPV), intestinal malrotation, interruption of the inferior vena cava (IVC), and polysplenia associated with gastric cancer in an adult patient, together with a review of the literature on the anomalies of visceral organs associated with gastric cancer.
methodsWe describe the diagnosis and surgical treatment in a 63 year-old man who had a preoperative diagnosis of PDPV, intestinal malrotation, interruption of the IVC with azygos continuation, and polysplenia associated with gastric cancer. Fifteen reports, in the English literature up to 2011, on visceral organ anomalies detected in gastric cancer patients were identified by searching Medline.
resultsAll of the 15 cases of anomalies associated with gastric cancer, including the present case, were correctly diagnosed by preoperative imaging. Situs anomaly was the most frequent anatomical anomaly detected, and PDPV was observed in only four cases. In 12 cases, gastrectomy was performed, and gastrojejunostomy was done in 1 case.
conclusionsAlthough embryological anomalies such as PDPV, intestinal malrotation, interruption of the IVC, and polysplenia are rarely encountered in abdominal surgery, surgeons must be aware of their possible existence and be able to recognize them to avoid major intraoperative injuries.
