An unusual subhepatic cecum identified during cadaveric dissection: relevance for clinical diagnosis and anatomy education.
Article in Surgical and radiologic anatomy : SRA, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
purposeSubhepatic cecums are rare conditions (0.3-0.5% of live births) that result from a malrotation event during embryologic development. Although this condition is uncommon, it presents unique challenges for diagnosing appendicitis due to the appendix being displaced to the right upper quadrant instead of its typical right lower quadrant location.
methodsAn 85-year-old male cadaver with a medical history significant for type 2 diabetes mellitus, atrial fibrillation, systolic congestive heart failure, and severe protein malnutrition was used during routine dissections of the gastrointestinal system.
resultsA subhepatic cecum was identified with a vermiform appendix situated just below the liver. Further examination revealed a unique variation in the pathways of the ileocecal artery to accommodate the malrotation.
conclusionDespite being rare, understanding this developmental variation is beneficial for the accurate diagnosis and treatment of patients with unusual presentations of appendiceal and colonic pathologies.
