Destruction of a wandering accessory right hepatic artery in a patient with pancreatic body cancer: a case report.
Article in Clinical journal of gastroenterology, 2021. 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
Aberrant right hepatic arteries are sometimes involved in pancreatic head tumors or accidentally damaged during surgical procedures, which could result in postoperative complications. The risk of such injury has been discussed in patients undergoing pancreatoduodenectomy; however, no reports describe the influence of this anomaly in distal pancreatectomy. We report a patient with pancreatic body cancer with an accessory right hepatic artery following a very unique route. A 77-year-old man was referred to our hospital for the treatment of pancreatic cancer. Computed tomography revealed an anomaly in the hepatic artery, with an accessory right hepatic artery encased in the extensive tumor, which also involved the stomach, left gastric artery, and portal vein. Curative resection was achieved by distal pancreatectomy with wedge resection of the stomach and portal vein reconstruction. Both the accessory right hepatic artery and the left gastric artery were sacrificed after confirming intrahepatic arterial flow by intraoperative Doppler ultrasonography. The route of the accessory right hepatic artery in this patient was unique in that it did not run directly into the hepatic hilum but from behind the pancreatic body, where it was incorporated into the tumor. Accurate preoperative assessment and identification of arterial variations is mandatory in any type of pancreatectomy.
