Lowered hyoid bone overlapping the thyroid cartilage in CT angiograms.
Article in Surgical and radiologic anatomy : SRA, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
backgroundThe ventral enclosure of the thyroid cartilage by a collapsed hyoid bone (CHB) is poorly encountered in previous research. It was aimed to observe whether or not these malformations could be found and detailed anatomically in a consistent lot of computed tomography (CT) files.
methodsTwo hundred archived CT angiograms were explicitly observed for the CHB anatomical variant.
resultsDifferent possibilities of CHB were found in 6/200 cases, five males and one female. The symmetrical overlap of the thyroid cartilage by the hyoid body was found in one male case. In three cases, two males and one female, there was asymmetrical overlapping due to tilted hyoid bones. In one male case with such asymmetrical CHD, an ossified anterior longitudinal ligament was noted: the tips of the superior horns of the thyroid cartilage reached lateral to it, thus being retropharyngeal. A different male case had a lowered hyoid with a greater horn fused to the superior horn of the thyroid cartilage, with an interposed ossified triticeal cartilage. In the last male case, the right greater horn collapsed laterally to an ossified triticeal cartilage fused with the thyroid cartilage's superior horn.
conclusionsThe CHB is an undeniable anatomical possibility of an atavism that alters conventional anatomical and surgical landmarks. Different anatomical components of the hyoid bone can descend uni- or bilaterally.
