An unreported innervation of the coracobrachialis longus by the radial nerve: a potential pitfall for clinicians.
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 2 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 aim of the presented case is to describe an unprecedented innervation of the coracobrachialis longus muscle by the radial nerve.
methodsAn 82-year-old body donor at death was subjected to a routine anatomical dissection for teaching and research purposes at the Department of Anatomical Dissection and Donation in Lodz, Poland.
resultsWe have found an additional branch of the radial nerve, which departed from it just below its beginning. Its initial section ran alongside the radial nerve in the axilla, then headed medially accompanying superior ulnar collateral artery. Then, it reaches the coracobrachialis longus muscle and is the only one to innervate it.
conclusionsThe brachial plexus (BP) is very variable and well understood. Nevertheless, we must remember that there may still be variations in its structure, which may involve problems at every stage of diagnosis and treatment of diseases associated with its structures. Their knowledge is extremely important.
