Navigating the Hump: Managing Moynihan's Hump During a Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy.
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
Moynihan's hump is a rare variant of the right hepatic artery (RHA) characterized by a tortuous RHA coursing near the cystic duct. This complicates cystic artery (CA) identification, increasing the chances of mistaking the RHA for it, resulting in inadvertent injury during a cholecystectomy. We present the case of a Moynihan's hump identified during the critical view of safety assessment in a cholecystectomy performed on a 47-year-old male with cholelithiasis. Our report highlights the surgical challenges, emphasizing the importance of the identification of key structures and techniques to minimize complications. Flexibility in surgical planning and awareness of anatomical variations are crucial for ensuring patient safety.
