Thyroidea ima artery multiple branching pattern over the trachea.
Article in Surgical and radiologic anatomy : SRA, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
purposeThe current cadaveric report describes a rare case of a thyroidea ima artery (TIA) with multiple branching pattern over the trachea.
methodsA cadaver dissection of the neck and thorax region of a formalin-embalmed 90-year-old male cadaver of a body donor took place. The body donation was made after a signed informed consent.
resultsThe TIA variant originated from the brachiocephalic artery before its bifurcation into the right common carotid artery (CCA) and right subclavian artery (SCA). TIA further divided into three anterior and two posterior branches, with subsequent multiple division into smaller branches. All branches were located anterior and right side to the trachea. The anterior branches supplied the infrahyoid muscles and the posterior ones supplied the thyroid gland inferior lobes and the inferior parathyroid glands. The TIA coexisted with a brachiocephalico-carotid trunk, derived after the left CCA and brachiocephalic artery fusion.
conclusionThe presence of multiple arterial branches over the trachea creates a high risk for excessive bleeding during tracheotomy or cricothyroidotomy.
