Anatomical considerations of cutaneous nerves of scalp for an effective anesthetic blockade for procedures on the scalp.
Article in Journal of neurosciences in rural practice. 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
Objective: The anatomy of the scalp nerves varies widely with age, race, and individuals of the same race and even within the same individual and hence need to be studied extensively to avoid complications and improve effectiveness during various surgical and anesthetic procedures of the scalp. Materials and Methods: Gross dissection was carried out on 11 cadavers (22 Hemifaces: 11 right and 11 left) with no obvious scalp deformities or surgeries. The distances of the supraorbital nerve (SON), supratrochlear nerve (STN), and greater occipital nerve (GON) from commonly used bony landmarks were measured. The branching pattern and presence of accessory notches/foramina were noted. Results: SON and STN were found almost midway and at the junction between medial and middle one-third of the line joining midline and lateral orbital margin, respectively. The distances of STN and SON from the midline were about ½ and 3/4 Conclusion: These parameters on the Indian population would give a comprehensive idea of the distribution of these cutaneous scalp nerves and would be beneficial in the targeted and accurate deposition of local anesthetic.
