Absence of the Proper Hepatic Artery Detected on Cadaveric Dissection.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The coeliac trunk (CeT) and hepatic arterial system exhibit significant anatomical variability, which holds substantial clinical and surgical relevance. This cadaveric case describes an aberrant branching pattern of the CeT discovered during the routine anatomical dissection of a 78-year-old female cadaver. Notably, the proper hepatic artery (PHA) was absent, with the left hepatic artery (LHA) arising from the common hepatic artery (CHA) before its bifurcation into the right hepatic artery (RHA) and gastroduodenal artery (GDA). In addition, the inferior phrenic arteries (IPAs) originated from a common trunk arising from the CeT. This vascular configuration deviates from the CHA trifurcation pattern, which has been previously documented in the literature but remains infrequently reported. Given the critical role of the hepatic arterial system in surgical procedures, including hepatectomy, liver transplantation, and interventional radiology, recognizing such anatomical variations is paramount to prevent intraoperative complications. This report underscores the importance of detailed preoperative imaging and thorough anatomical knowledge in optimizing surgical outcomes and patient safety.
