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

This review provides a comprehensive overview of the anatomy of the submental vein, synthesizing recent findings on its development, anatomical features, course, and clinical significance. Additionally, it introduces the mylohyoid triangle, a new anatomical landmark where the submental vein, submental artery, and the nerve to the mylohyoid muscle run in parallel. As an essential structure in head and neck reconstructive surgery, the submental vein exhibits considerable anatomical variability, primarily due to its complex developmental process. This review highlights the importance of understanding the anatomy of the submental vein and performing thorough preoperative evaluations to enhance surgical success.
