Preoperative evaluation of vascular anatomy of right colic vessels using enhanced computed tomographic colonography.
Article in Japanese journal of radiology, 2022. 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
purposeThe purpose of this study is to define the blood vessels from a surgical perspective and show the frequency of vascular anatomical anomalies as well as the positional relationship with the surrounding organs, including the number of jejunal veins that cross the dissection area in our series. MATERIALS AND
methodsFrom January 2016 to December 2018, 126 patients who received ileocecal resection or right hemicolectomy for colonic cancer in our institution were retrospectively analyzed by preoperative enhanced computed tomographic colonography images that were obtained using an 80-detector row CT scanner and workstation. The ileocolic artery/vein, right colic artery/vein and middle colic artery/vein were defined as the vessels that flow directly from or into the superior mesenteric artery/vein. All colic veins that flowed into the gastro-colic trunk were defined as accessory right colic veins.
resultsThe accessory right colonic vein existed more than two in 62.6% of cases. In 11 cases (8.9%), the inflow point of the ileocecal vein was on the ventral side of the pancreas. There was one jejunal vein that straddled the dissection area in 31% and two in 6.3%.
conclusionThis study elucidated the vascular anatomy and positional relationship with surrounding organs that is required in central vascular ligation during complete mesocolic excision for right sided colon cancer.
