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

Anatomical variations of the hepatic artery (HA) are frequent (25-45%), representing a special challenge in minimally invasive surgery. Preoperative knowledge of these variations is essential in pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) to avoid vascular injury and without compromising mesopancreas resection. Patients with anatomical variants of HA, who underwent PD, were selected including robotic and laparoscopy surgery. In all cases, the "Artery First" approach of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) was performed allowing the identification of the origin of arterial variants and the gastroduodenal artery to be sectioned. The objective of this multimedia article is to describe the different surgical approaches, including some tips and trick in case of vascular variants.
