Rare anastomosis between a replaced right hepatic artery and left branch of the proper hepatic artery.
Article in Surgical and radiologic anatomy : SRA, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Appreciation of the potential anatomical variation of the hepatic arterial supply and branches of the abdominal aorta is of paramount importance in pancreatic and hepatobiliary surgery. Here we describe a hitherto un-reported coelio-mesenteric anastomotic connection between a replaced right hepatic artery, originating from the superior mesenteric artery, and the left hepatic branch of the proper hepatic artery. The embryological origins of the variant anatomy as well as its potential surgical implications are discussed with a view to encourage thorough pre-operative interrogation of available imaging by radiologists and surgeons to successfully identify such variants and take advantage of their potentially useful functionality.
