Aberrant left gastric vein: what should surgeons know?
Review 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 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
purposeAberrant left gastric vein is a rare variant and hardly known by surgeons. Its misidentification may lead to accidental bleeding. More importantly, it can also be the root of hypertensive gastropathy in cirrhotic patients and tumor spread in patients with gastric cancer. Here, we describe and provide imaging data of the three patterns of aberrant left gastric veins.
methodsOver the past 5 years, three cases were noted, each one corresponding to one of the three variants.
resultsAberrant left gastric vein is a rare anatomical entity and has rarely been reported. Its normal anatomy and variants, embryological origins, radiological analysis, and clinical implications are all discussed, bringing light to what surgeons should know when encountering an aberrant left gastric vein.
conclusionSurgeons should be aware of the types of ALGV, its associated arterial variations, the presence of pseudolesion or not, and the potential atrophy of liver segment.
