Multiple portal veins in the hepatoduodenal ligament: Evidence of "duodenal reverse rotation" hypothesis?
Article in Radiology case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Duplication of the portal vein is a rare variation, and reports of this condition are quite limited. The present report describes a woman of advanced age who was incidentally diagnosed with duplicated portal veins. The portal vein from the splenic vein distributed to the left lobe of the liver, and that from the superior mesenteric vein ran between the pancreas and duodenum to distribute to the right lobe. The former portal vein connected with the round ligament, and its presumptive origin was the left vitelline vein. The latter was presumably from the right vitelline vein. Between the 2 portal veins, 2 anastomotic veins were identified; one anastomosis was posterior to the pancreatic head, and the other was intrahepatic. The common bile duct was located posterolateral to the portal veins. The relationships of these veins to the round ligament and common bile duct support the reverse rotation hypothesis of the duodenum in the development of portal vein variations.
