Frequency, anatomical properties and innervation of axillary arch and its relation to the brachial plexus in human fetuses.

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
purpose"Axillary Arch" (AA) is the main musculotendinous variation of the axillary region. The aim of this study was to reveal the frequency, anatomical properties, and innervation of AA and its relation with brachial plexus in human fetuses.
methodsIn this study, 50 human fetuses (male: 20, female: 30), gestation age varied between 16 and 38 weeks (mean ± SD: 23.3 ± 5.3 week), were dissected at the anatomy laboratory of Mersin University, Faculty of Medicine.
resultsAA was found in 11 of the 50 fetuses, and in 3 of 11, it was bilateral. Among both sides, 6 of 14 AAs were on the right and 8 were on the left side. Seven of AA's (7% of the specimens) were in muscular and 7 (7%) of them were in musculotendinous structure. With regard to Testut's classification, six (6%) of them were of complete type, six (6%) were incomplete and two (2%) were concordant with both types. Three different types of AA were defined considering the shapes of the arches. According to our classification, seven of the AAs were of type 1, two of them were of type 2 and five of them were of type 3. Additionally, the incidence of the T2 spinal nerve joining the brachial plexus was significantly higher in the specimens with AA (p = 0.001).
conclusionsEach type of AA described in this study is thought to have individual clinical significance. Being aware of AA and its types can be important to determine a safe approach to the axillary region for surgeons. In addition, our results show the relation between the occurrence of AA and the variations in the formation of the proximal part of brachial plexus.
