The Interazygos Vein: A Case Report and Review of Preaortic Hemiazygos Anastomoses.
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
During routine dissection of the thoracic cavity, a rare variation of the azygos system of veins was observed. The hemiazygos vein and the accessory hemiazygos vein generally course posterior to the aorta to form anastomoses with the azygos vein. However, in this case, the hemiazygos vein and the accessory hemiazygos vein anastomosed together into a vessel that crossed anterior to the thoracic aorta before draining into the azygos vein on the right side of the thoracic cavity. This variation is also known as an "interazygos vein." While the venous system is recognized for its variability, a preaortic anastomosis is particularly rare. A literature review was conducted to investigate the morphology of previous reports of preaortic hemiazygos anastomoses and interazygos veins. It was determined that the term "interazygos vein" encompasses a range of morphological variations. Awareness of the interazygos vein is important clinically to avoid mediastinal misdiagnoses and surgical complications.
