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
purposeThis study aimed to report and characterize bilateral renal artery (RA) variations observed during cadaveric dissection and to evaluate these findings in the context of embryological development and morphometric analysis. CASE PRESENTATION: During routine anatomical dissection of an 87-year-old Caucasian male cadaver, bilateral variations in the renal arteries were identified. On the right side, two renal arteries (RRA1 and RRA2) were observed, each giving rise to presegmental and segmental branches. Notably, the RRA1 also gave rise to the right inferior suprarenal artery. This arterial configuration was consistent with the crossed different trajectory pattern, corresponding to Type C. On the left side, a single left renal artery (LRA) bifurcated into one presegmental and one segmental branch, consistent with type IIa. Morphometric analysis performed using ImageJ software revealed that the RRA1 measured 57.75 mm in length, with a diameter of 4.59 mm at its branching point. The RRA2 was 55.1 mm long, with a midpoint diameter of 4.29 mm. The LRA measured 29.25 mm in length, with diameters of 8.71 mm at its origin and 7.23 mm at its mid-length.
conclusionsThis case reveals an uncommon combination of bilateral renal artery variations, emphasizing the complexity and variability of the renal vasculature. The right-sided crossed arterial configuration and left-sided perihilar branching reflect embryologically persistent mesonephric arteries, particularly from the caudal group. These findings emphasize the importance of preoperative vascular mapping and individualized anatomical assessment to prevent complications during retroperitoneal surgery, renal transplantation, and interventional radiological procedures. Understanding such variations in the embryological and morphometric contexts is essential for improving patient safety and procedural accuracy.
