Everything but the squeal: a guide for head and neck surgery training on the live porcine model.

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
purposeThe porcine model has been demonstrated to be cost-effective for head and neck surgery training. There is no literature describing the porcine head and neck anatomy. The purpose of this study is to provide a porcine surgical guide for training head and neck residents.
methodsFive head and neck dissections were performed under general anesthesia on the Large White pig model in the animal facilities of the University Hospital Fundación Jiménez. Sessions were photographed, and reference anatomical measurements were taken.
resultsThe sternum-chin distance (x = 15.80 cm, σ = 0.44), chin-chin distance (x = 11.10 cm, σ = 2.30), prelaryngeal musculature length (x = 10.30 cm, σ = 1.92) and supraomohyoid triangle area (x = 7.07 cm
conclusionsHead and neck porcine anatomy was thoroughly described, with emphasis on the similarities with human anatomy. The porcine model is capable of simulating human anatomy for surgery training.
