1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Typically, a kidney gets its arterial supply from a single renal artery, and the testicular arteries originate from the anterolateral surface of the abdominal aorta. The present case describes a variation in the origin of the testicular artery, which originates from a right accessory renal artery. We observed two renal arteries with the inferior vena cava sandwiched in between. The testicular artery originates from the inferior margin of the accessory renal artery, coursing down alongside the testicular vein into the right testis. During cephalic migration in embryogenesis, the conjunction of the ascending kidney and the descending testis is considered an important factor contributing to variations in the number and location of the vasculature in the kidneys or the gonads. An elaborate description of these variations is clinically significant for surgical interventions, renal transplants, renal and testicular imaging, and pathology.
