Dual spinal accessory nerve: an anatomical anomaly during neck dissection.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2023. 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
The spinal accessory nerve (SAN) is an important cranial nerve encountered during neck dissection. Preservation of this nerve from iatrogenic damage is crucial to avoid debilitating sequalae, which can be made challenging due to variation of its anatomical course. In this case report, we present a patient who underwent supraomohyoid neck dissection, where a rare variation of a dual SAN, traversing the internal jugular vein midway, was encountered. In this case report, we study this anatomical finding, which is undoubtedly a valuable addition to the existing knowledge of the SAN. Ultimately, allowing surgeons to develop further awareness of the variations of the SAN and contributing to favourable postoperative outcomes.
