1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 occurrence of variations in human arterial branching of the upper limb has been commonly reported in peer-reviewed literature. However, the variability of upper limb arterial patterns may be underappreciated in medical practice, which can result in clinical and surgical errors. Here we report a case of a rare, unilateral arterial variation of the left upper limb of a 76-year-old Caucasian male cadaver, discovered during a routine educational dissection. Observed characteristics of the variation include a high brachial artery bifurcation into a superficial brachioulnoradial artery and brachial artery continuing as the interosseous artery and then a bifurcation of the superficial brachioulnoradial artery into a superficial radial and a superficial ulnar artery, which eventually contribute to the formation of the superficial palmar arch. The anatomical characteristics, prevalence, embryological origin, and clinical significance of the variation are discussed.
