An Anatomical Variant of the Accessory Right Hepatic Artery Arising From the Superior Mesenteric Artery: A Cadaveric Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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 right hepatic artery (RHA) provides blood flow to the right lobe of the liver. In typical anatomy, the RHA branches from the proper hepatic artery, which branches from the common hepatic artery originating from the celiac trunk of the abdominal aorta. During a standard cadaveric dissection, a large accessory right hepatic artery (aRHA) was noted arising directly from the superior mesenteric artery. The lumen of the identified aRHA measured approximately 1 cm in diameter. The artery also appeared darker in color than the surrounding vasculature, with no evidence of prior surgery or procedures. The size and position of this variant are important to note before surgery, given its large size and its significant role in supplying the liver. This highlights the importance of thorough preoperative vascular imaging to identify such anomalies and prevent inadvertent vascular injury.
