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

Living donor liver transplantation is a vital option for patients with limited access to deceased donor organs, but its success depends heavily on meticulous preoperative planning and an understanding of vascular anatomy. We present a rare case of hepatic arterial variations with an accessory right hepatic artery originating from the right inferior phrenic artery. Awareness of such anomalies is essential for transplant surgeons and radiologists to ensure optimal graft selection, minimize surgical complications, and improve both donor and recipient outcomes.
