Evaluation of Celiac Trunk, Hepatic Artery Variations, and Their Collateral Arteries by Multi-Slice Computed Tomography.

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
objectivesCeliac Trunk (CT) is a vital artery and the first unmatched branch of the abdominal aorta, providing blood to upper abdominal structures, particularly the liver, stomach, and spleen. It is essential to know its anatomy in terms of pancreas, spleen, gallbladder, liver surgeries, and interventional radiological procedures such as chemoembolization. The aim of our study is to contribute to the literature with the measurements of distances between the diaphragmatic crus and vascular structures with their diameters, which have been studied insufficiently, and to detect the possible relationships between vascular variations and collateral branches.
methodsImaging findings of 200 patients (114 males and 86 females), who underwent Multi-Section Computed Tomography examination with various indications in our center between June 2016 and July 2020, were retrospectively analyzed. The statistical relations between CT and Hepatic Artery variations, collateral formations, age, and gender were evaluated with the Spearman's Rho Correlation Coefficient Test.
resultsThe distance between the crus of diaphragm and CT was 4-60 mm (mean 24.3 mm), the distance between CT and superior mesenteric artery (SMA) was 2.5-35 mm (mean 8.6 mm), CT diameter was 4.6-9.4 mm (mean 7.3 mm), and the main hepatic artery diameter was 2.4-5.8 mm (mean 4.1 mm). There was no correlation in our study between CT, Hepatic Artery variations, and their collaterals (r in range of -20,124-0.116, p>0.05). It can be said that in cases of the single accessory left hepatic artery originating from the left gastric artery, such as Michel's Type V and Type VIII, collaterals between common hepatic artery and SMA were relatively more frequent (p=0.1).
conclusionOur study contributed to the literature by measuring the distance between diaphragmatic crus-vascular structures, which has been little studied in the past. Frequencies of CT and Hepatic Artery variations that have been detected in our study are similar to the results of the previous studies with non-malignancy patient groups.
