Unusual course and termination of common facial vein: a case report.
Article in Surgical and radiologic anatomy : SRA, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Given the common and increasing exploitation of superficial head and neck veins in a widening spectrum of clinical and surgical procedures, it is important to equally broaden understanding of the heterogeneity of the vascular anatomy of the region. We report an unusual course of the right common facial vein parallel to the course of external jugular vein, emptying into the ipsilateral subclavian vein in the lateral neck triangle behind the posterior border of the sternocleidomastoid muscle in a 78-year-old male cadaver. Such course may be hazardous for surgical procedures in the region given the high risk of profuse haemorrhage from any injury of the vessel. The variant anatomy may also cause problems in invasive techniques involving the vein, especially in emergency and intensive care settings. This index report, therefore, provides a new insight into the superficial head and neck vein anatomical variations in order to guide relevant clinical procedures in the region.
