A case in which the ileocolic vein draining into the gastrocolic trunk of Henle could be diagnosed preoperatively: a rare anatomical case report.

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
backgroundNumerous variations in vascular anatomy have been reported in the right colon. The ileocolic vein (ICV) generally drains directly into the superior mesenteric vein (SMV), and is an important landmark for laparoscopic surgery in right colon cancer. We present here a patient with a vascular anomaly of the ICV that was diagnosed on preoperative imaging. CASE PRESENTATION: A 65-year-old woman was diagnosed with transverse colon cancer by colonoscopy. Preoperative computed tomography scan showed that the ICV drained into the gastrocolic trunk of Henle (GCT) rather than the SMV. Single-incision laparoscopic transverse colectomy with D3 lymph node dissection was performed, dividing the middle colic vein (MCV) and preserving the right gastroepiploic vein (RGEV), anterior superior pancreaticoduodenal vein (ASPDV), GCT and ICV. The intraoperatively identified venous anatomy was consistent with the preoperative evaluation, and the RGEV, ASPDV and ICV were found to form the GCT.
conclusionWe report a rare vascular anatomical anomaly that was diagnosed preoperatively, facilitating safe and successful single-incision laparoscopic surgery with D3 lymph node dissection.
