Use of the superior mesenteric artery as an arterial interposition graft in horseshoe kidney transplantation: a case report.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 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
Vascular reconstruction in kidney transplantation remains a technical challenge, especially in cases involving horseshoe kidneys, which often have anomalous vascular and ureteral anatomy. Proper selection of reconstruction technique and vessel graft source is crucial for long-term organ graft survival. This case report describes the successful use of a donor superior mesenteric artery segment as an interposition graft between a compromised donor renal artery and recipient external iliac artery in a horseshoe kidney transplant. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case where the superior mesenteric artery was successfully utilized as an interposition arterial graft in renal transplantation.
