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

We describe a rare case of LRV pseudo-fenestration in a 68-year-old female identified on contrast-enhanced multidetector computed tomography. Unlike true fenestration, in which a single vessel splits and reunites, this pseudo-fenestration resulted from the convergence of two distinct hilar venous trunks. Multiplanar and three-dimensional reconstructions demonstrated that the left suprarenal vein drained into the superior limb, whereas the left gonadal vein drained into the inferior limb, reflecting a consistent and anatomically meaningful tributary pattern. This configuration is most plausibly explained by incomplete or asymmetric embryological fusion of the cardinal venous system. Accurate preoperative recognition of this variant is clinically important to reduce the risk of iatrogenic injury during laparoscopic donor nephrectomy, adrenal venous sampling, and other retroperitoneal or endovascular procedures.
