Hypoplastic Celiac Trunk With Aberrant Hepatic and Splenic Arteries: A Case Report.
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
Vascular anomalies of the celiac trunk and its branches are rare but carry significant diagnostic and surgical implications. We report a case of a 24-year-old male presenting with acute abdominal pain and vomiting. Contrast-enhanced CT revealed a hypoplastic celiac trunk with aberrant hepatic and splenic arteries arising from the superior mesenteric artery (SMA), a configuration distinct from the more commonly described replaced right hepatic artery. Associated findings included dilated duodenum and jejunum with wall thickening and mesenteric inflammation, likely reflecting altered mesenteric hemodynamics. The patient was managed conservatively for an acute abdomen with suspected transient vascular congestion. This rare vascular variant highlights the importance of CT angiography in identifying atypical anatomy, which is crucial for preventing misdiagnosis and guiding safe surgical or interventional procedures.
