ReviewSurgical and radiologic anatomy : SRA2022
Replaced right hepatic artery arising from the distal renal artery, a new variation.
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 4 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
purposeArterial irrigation of the liver is highly variable and widely studied due to its importance in the correct planification of the surgical or endovascular treatment of the hepatobilary area. Various classifications have been published of the common and uncommon anatomic variations of the hepatic arterial distribution. While the classic anatomic pattern of the proper hepatic artery-when it originates from the celiac trunk dividing into left and right branches-represents 50-83% of the described patterns, there are numerous uncommon distributions based on the presence of replaced or accessory hepatic arteries. In this article, we present a case of a replaced right hepatic artery originating from the right distal renal artery.
methodsContrast enhanced computed tomography (CECT) examination was performed on a 67 years-old male patient with compensated alcoholic cirrhosis as part of the disease monitoring.
resultsThe replaced right hepatic artery of the patient arises from the right distal renal artery and-after its cranial course-enters the porta hepatis posterior to the main portal vein. After giving off the cystic artery, it irrigates the right hepatic lobe. The left hepatic artery does not show any variation.
conclusionWe present CT angiography images of an extremely rare anatomic variation of the hepatic arterial irrigation in a cirrhotic patient.
