Finding the Right Hepatic Artery Branching from the Gastroduodenal Artery in a Patient Undergoing Gastrectomy: A Rare Case of an Anatomical Variant.

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
Numerous vascular anomalies of the hepatic artery have been reported. Protection of the hepatic arterial supply is important during gastrectomy. We herein report a case in which an anatomical variant of the hepatic artery was discovered in a patient undergoing laparoscopic distal gastrectomy with D1+ lymph node dissection for early gastric cancer. A 50-year-old man was referred to our hospital because of epigastric pain and hematemesis, and he was diagnosed with early gastric cancer after hemostasis of a bleeding ulcer. Computed tomography showed an anatomical variation of the right hepatic artery, which branched from the gastroduodenal artery. Moreover, the right gastric artery branched from the right hepatic artery. Our preoperative understanding of this unusual branch of the hepatic artery enabled safe laparoscopic surgery with adequate lymph node dissection. No postoperative complications occurred. This vascular anomaly has not been previously reported in patients undergoing gastrectomy.
