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
Visceral blood vessels often display significant anatomical variability, with testicular artery (TA) anomalies more frequently observed on the left side. During a routine cadaveric dissection of an 88-year-old Caucasian male with no known kidney or testicular disease, a unique vascular pattern was identified. A left common trunk arose from the abdominal aorta at approximately the level of L2 vertebra, positioned partially behind the left renal vein. This trunk ascended and bifurcated into superior and inferior branches. The superior branch gave rise to a left inferior suprarenal artery and a left inferior polar renal artery. The inferior branch looped around the left renal vein and artery, continued as an arched left TA. The TA then traveled inferiorly, penetrating the deep inguinal ring and entering the spermatic cord. Additionally, two left testicular veins were observed traversing a typical course alongside the TA contributing to the left renal vein. This case presents a rare vascular configuration in which multiple individually reported variations - the left inferior suprarenal artery, inferior polar renal artery, and arched testicular artery - not only coexist, but all arise from a common trunk. To the best of our knowledge, this precise anatomical pattern has not been previously reported in the literature. The coexistence of dual left testicular veins further highlights the complexity of this case. Awareness of these anatomical variations is pertinent to surgical specialists and interventional radiologists in reducing complications in retroperitoneal procedures as well as improving procedural accuracy.
