Reversed Palmaris Longus: A Rare Anatomical Phenomenon Discovered.
Article in Cureus, 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
The palmaris longus (PL) muscle is considered by many to be a vestigial muscle due to it having little to no functional significance on the upper limb. This, however, made it highly valuable in surgical procedures, especially as a graft in plastic and reconstructive cases. Variations in the muscle's morphology were discussed in the literature, but some are more rare than others. Those variations may have clinical implications on different pathologies such as Guyon's syndrome or Carpal tunnel syndrome based on the nerves and vessels surrounding it, and thus demand a proper understanding of the variation's anatomy. Here, we report a case of one of the rarer variations, a unilaterally reversed palmaris longus muscle in the left forearm of a 55-year-old male cadaver, discovered in a routine teaching session. Throughout the case, we will discuss the normal anatomy, the variation, and the clinical implications this variation may have.
