Rare origin of the obturator artery from the external iliac artery with two obturator veins.
Article in Jornal vascular brasileiro. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
The obturator artery is a branch of the internal iliac artery, although there are reports documenting variations, with origin from neighboring vessels such as the common iliac and external iliac arteries or from any branch of the internal iliac artery. It normally runs anteroinferiorly along the lateral wall of the pelvis to the upper part of the obturator foramen where it exits the pelvis by passing through said foramen. Along its course, the artery is accompanied by the obturator nerve and one obturator vein. It supplies the muscles of the medial compartment of the thigh and anastomoses with branches of the femoral artery on the hip joint. We report a rare arterial variation in a Brazilian cadaver in which the obturator artery arose from the external iliac artery, passing beyond the external iliac vein toward the obturator foramen, and was accompanied by two obturator veins with distinct paths. We also discuss its clinical significance.
