1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeAnatomic variants of the celiac trunk and superior mesenteric artery are common, thus knowledge of these variants is important for preoperative planning of abdominal surgery and interventional procedures.

methodsWe report a rare anatomic variant of replaced proper hepatic and gastroduodenal arteries discovered upon CT angiography and diagnostic angiogram.

resultsEmergent angiogram performed on a 61-year-old male who presented with signs and symptoms of upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage revealed a rare variant of an absent common hepatic artery and its branches with aberrant origins. The replaced proper hepatic artery originated from the superior mesenteric artery and the replaced gastroduodenal artery originated from a gastrosplenic trunk.

conclusionThis case emphasizes the importance of evaluating preoperative imaging to identify vascular variants prior to undergoing abdominal surgery or interventional procedures.
