An unusual sternalis with variation of the contralateral sternocleidomastoid muscle: a case report.
Article in Surgical and radiologic anatomy : SRA, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
purposeTo report a previously undocumented variant of sternalis.
methodsAn unusual muscle was observed during routine dissection.
resultsThe sternalis muscle located in the right thoracic region originated from the superior portion of the rectus abdominis sheath and 5-6th costal cartilages, crossed the midline and attached at the sternum. The muscle fibers then ascended with the left sternocleidomastoid muscle as an additional fasciculus, of which the superior ends were finally terminated at the left mastoid process. The sternalis muscle of the thoracic region was innervated by the anterior cutaneous branches of right intercostal nerve, while the additional fasciculus ascended with the left sternocleidomastoid muscle was innervated by the branches of left accessory nerve.
conclusionsThis study presents a unilateral sternalis muscle with the contralateral sternocleidomastoid variation. It will enhance the exhaustive classification of sternalis, and provide significant information to radiologists, angiologists and surgeons for better interpretation of images and safer interventions.
