Classification of Genicular Artery Anatomic Variants Using Intraoperative Cone-Beam Computed Tomography.
Article in Cardiovascular and interventional radiology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
purposeGenicular artery embolization (GAE) is a new treatment option for symptomatic knee osteoarthritis. Genicular arterial anatomy is complex with limited published reports. This study describes the genicular artery anatomy utilizing intraprocedural cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) during GAE. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis retrospective single-center study was approved by the institutional review board. All patients who underwent GAE between May 2018 and April 2022 were reviewed. Patients with a technically adequate CBCT were included in the analysis. CBCTs were analyzed to determine the presence, course, and branching patterns of the genicular arteries.
resultsA total of 222 patients underwent GAE and 205 (92%) were included for analysis. The descending genicular artery was present in 197 (96%) CBCTs with two branches in 152 (77%). The superior medial genicular artery (SMGA) was present in 186 (91%), superior lateral genicular artery (SLGA) in 203 (99%), inferior medial genicular artery (IMGA) in 195 (95%), inferior lateral genicular artery (ILGA) in 196 (95%), and median genicular artery (MGA) in 200 (97%). Four unique branching patterns were identified: common origin of SLGA and MGA (115, 56%), unique origins (45, 22%), trifurcation of SLGA, SMGA, and MGA (32, 15.5%), and common origin of SMGA and MGA (12, 6%). The recurrent ascending tibial was identified in 156 (76%) CBCTs and superior patellar artery in 175 (85%) CBCTs.
conclusionGenicular artery anatomy is complex with numerous common variants. CBCT is a powerful adjunct in GAE to rapidly identify target vessels for embolization and potentially decrease the risk of nontarget embolization.
