Aberrant innominate artery: A possible hazard during total laryngectomy.
Article in Laryngoscope investigative otolaryngology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
backgroundSurgical management in laryngeal carcinoma remains a challenge with countless unexpected complications. Great vessel anomalies such as anomaly of the innominate artery carry high risk of morbidity and mortality if not managed properly.
methodsWe present our first experience with an aberrant innominate artery during total laryngectomy which complicated the whole surgical procedure and tracheostoma placement.
resultsWe decided to place a pectoralis major muscle flap to separate and cover up the aberrant vessel from the trachea and end-stoma which ultimately did not lead to major complications postoperatively and postradiation therapy.
conclusionAberrant innominate artery is an extremely rare entity and failure of recognizance can lead to hazardous complications. Preoperative angiography needs to be done if there are high suspicions of aberrant vessels in the operative field. Careful dissection of the head and neck region, and prompt decision making are mandatory to manage such cases. LEVELS OF EVIDENCE: Case Report.
