Anatomic Variations of the Hepatic Artery in 5625 Patients.

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
purposeTo analyze the origin and anatomic course of the hepatic arteries by using digital subtraction angiography (DSA) and multidetector CT in a large study sample. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis retrospective study included 5625 patients who underwent liver CT and chemoembolization between January 2005 and December 2018 (mean age, 60 years ± 11 [range, 11-99 years]; 4464 males). The CT and DSA images were reviewed to evaluate the visceral arterial anatomy for variations in the celiac axis and hepatic arteries. Aberrant right hepatic arteries (aRHAs) and aberrant left hepatic arteries (aLHAs) were defined on the basis of their origin and anatomic course. Statistical analyses were performed to evaluate the association between aRHAs and aLHAs and the association between variations in the hepatic artery and celiac axis.
resultsRight hepatic arteries were categorized as being aRHAs (if originating from the proximal to middle common hepatic artery, gastroduodenal artery, superior mesenteric artery [SMA], celiac axis, aorta, splenic artery, or left gastric artery [LGA]) or as being aLHAs (if arising from the LGA, celiac axis, aorta, or SMA). The prevalence of aRHAs (15.63%; 879 of 5625) and the prevalence aLHAs (16.32%; 918 of 5625) were similar. Patients with an aRHA were more likely to have an aLHA than those without an aRHA (29.01% vs 13.97%;
conclusionA comprehensive list of hepatic arterial variations and a three-dimensional hypothetical model for the observed variations were described.
