Radiology for surgeons: liver anatomy.
Review in Frontiers in surgery, 2026. 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
The liver encompasses the portal vein, hepatic arteries, hepatic veins, and biliary ducts, all of which display considerable anatomical variation with clinical and surgical relevance. This study aimed to summarize this anatomical variability and its impact on decision-making in surgery. A review of studies and case reports was conducted, focusing on documented anatomical variations. The most commonly observed variations were highlighted using imaging findings. The study found that the anatomy of the liver's vascular and biliary systems differs in up to 50% of cases; therefore, in hepato-pancreato-biliary surgery, the surgeon's radiology knowledge and pre-operative planning with a specialized radiologist are particularly important. Pre-operative collaboration with radiologists would allow for more accurate mapping of the vascular and biliary anatomy. This review highlights the necessity of precise knowledge of liver anatomy and the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration between radiologists, surgeons, and oncologists to improve patient outcomes.
