Rare Anatomic Variation of the Levator Claviculae Muscle.
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
Variations regarding cervical musculature have been well documented in the literature, including the presence of a levator claviculae muscle within the lateral neck. This case report presents an example of levator claviculae that was discovered during the prosection of a 98-year-old male anatomical donor. This accessory muscle was located in the left cervical region and originated from the posterior belly of the levator scapulae, traversed along the anterior border of the trapezius, and inserted onto the inferior clavicle. Branches of the cervical plexus were noted to innervate both the levator scapulae and the levator claviculae. This report reviews these cervical anatomical variations and highlights their clinical significance. By presenting this case, we aim to increase awareness of unusual anatomical variations, which may aid in reducing the potential for misdiagnosis or confusion among healthcare professionals.
