Unilateral Right Thyrolinguofacial Trunk Arising From the External Carotid Artery Observed in an African Male Cadaver.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
A common origin of the superior thyroid artery, lingual artery, and facial artery is an infrequent anatomic variation. This uniqueness could stem from an unusual regression of vessels during remodeling and angiogenesis. Here we present a case of thyrolinguofacial trunk that arose from the external carotid artery of a 47-year-old male cadaver encountered during routine dissection of the head and neck in the department of anatomy. The thyrolinguofacial trunk originated from the anterior surface of the right external carotid artery, from which it gave off the superior thyroid artery and a linguofacial trunk. The linguofacial trunk then gave off the lingual and facial arteries. Since surgery in this region often assumes the normal anatomical arrangement of structures, understanding both the normal and possible abnormal branching patterns of the common carotid artery could help prevent complications, such as hemorrhagic episodes, during operations on the face and neck.
