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

A detailed understanding of hepatic arterial and portal venous anatomy is essential for liver-centric therapies and surgical procedures, especially transplantation. This cross-sectional CT angiographic study was conducted on 50 subjects (12-75 years) at King George's Medical University, Lucknow. The proper hepatic artery divided into Right Hepatic Artery (RHA) and Left Hepatic Artery (LHA) in 93.1% of cases, while trifurcation was rare (4%); overall, 42% showed arterial variations. The middle hepatic artery (MHA) most commonly arose from the LHA (44.7%) or RHA (31.9%), with dual arterial supply to segment IV in 6% of cases. Identifying these variations through CT angiography is crucial for preoperative planning to optimize surgical outcomes and reduce complications.
