Lingual artery: Angiographic anatomy and variations review for neurosurgeons.
Review in Surgical neurology international, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Background: The lingual artery (LA) is an important branch of the external carotid artery with a distinct course and vascular supply. However, the knowledge of the LA's angiographic anatomy and variation may represent an obscure area for practicing neurosurgeons. Inconsistencies in the origin, shape, three-dimensional orientation, exact course, and branches are key features of the LA, necessitating a better understanding of its detailed angio-anatomical characteristics. Methods: Summarized key concepts were included based on a review of the literature, including PubMed medical database, focusing on LA anatomy, angiography, and variations. Results: A focused, high-yield review was provided in this paper, depicting multiple anatomical and angiographic characteristics of the LA based on 20 final identified articles. Conclusion: Appreciating the LA's anatomy is essential for angiographic interpretation and enhances the precision of related neurovascular procedures.
