Assessment and classification of cystic arteries with 64-detector row computed tomography before laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

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
purposeMajor complications of laparoscopic cholecystectomy are bleeding and bile duct injury, and it is necessary to clearly identify structures endoscopically to keep bleeding and injury from occurring. The aim of this study was to depict the anatomical variation between cystic arteries among patients using 64-detector row spiral computed tomography (CT) prior to laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
methodsA total of 78 patients (31 men, 47 women) who underwent cholecystectomy were examined preoperatively using 64-detector row spiral CT between April 2012 and June 2013. The origin and number of cystic arteries and their relationship with the Calot triangle was evaluated by two independent observers. CT images were compared with laparoscopic cholecystectomy results.
resultsThe cystic arteries were delineated by CT in 73 of the 78 patients. The relationship between the cystic arteries and the Calot triangle was identified in 71 of the 78 patients. One cystic artery was found in 53 (73%) of the 73 patients, while two cystic arteries were found in 20 (27%) of the patients. A total of 55 (60%) of the 91 cystic arteries passed through the Calot triangle. The remaining 36 cystic arteries (40%) passed anterior, posterior, or inferior to the cystic duct. The relationship between the cystic arteries and the Calot triangle detected by CT was in agreement with the surgical records for all patients.
conclusionThe configuration of the cystic arteries and their relationship with the Calot triangle can be identified using 64-detector row CT before laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
