Anatomical variations of hepatic arteries: implications for clinical practice.
Review in Frontiers in surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Variations in hepatic arterial anatomy are highly prevalent, occurring in 45% to 75% of individuals. Understanding hepatic arterial anatomy is critical in optimizing surgical outcomes in hepatopancreatobiliary surgery, transplantation, and interventional radiology. Aberrant arteries are prone to accidental injury during surgery, which may lead to life threatening complications, such as hemorrhage or ischemia. Therefore, a clear understanding of hepatic arterial anatomy is essential for reducing intraoperative risk and improving surgical outcomes. To address this need, the present review provides an overview of hepatic arterial variants according to Michel's classification, aiming to enhance anatomical awareness and contribute to improved procedural planning across disciplines.
