Hepatic vein variations in 500 patients: surgical and radiological significance.
Article in The British journal of radiology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 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
objectivesThe purpose of the study was to assess the incidence of hepatic vein variations on multidetector CT (MDCT) for abdominal examinations.
methodsA retrospective analysis of 534 MDCT scans was performed in patients sent for various abdominal pathologies between January 2017 and April 2019. After excluding 34 patients, finally total of 500 patients (
resultsSingle right hepatic vein was seen in 458 (91.6%) out of 500 patients in our study. Two right hepatic veins were seen in 36 patients out of which 27 had common trunk and nine had independent drainage into the inferior vena cava (IVC). Common trunk of middle hepatic vein (MHV) and left hepatic vein (LHV) was seen in 405 (81%) and independent drainage of MHV and LHV into the IVC was seen in 95 (19%) of patients in our study. Amongst the segmental hepatic vein variations, most common drainage of segment IV vein was into LHV (333,66.6%) followed by MHV (148,29.6%) and IVC (19,3.8%).
conclusionHepatic vein variations are commonly seen similar to variations in hepatic artery, portal vein and biliary anatomy. Knowledge of these variations is extremely important for transplant surgeons and intervention radiologists. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: Awareness of the hepatic vein variations is essential for intervention radiologists and surgeons to reduce iatrogenic complications.
