An Unreported Variant of the Rhomboideus Muscle With an Additional Cervical Origin in a Cross-Breed Dog Cadaver.

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
The m. rhomboideus of domestic dogs typically originates from the dorsal median raphe of the neck and cranial thorax, with a distinct slip from the occiput, and is composed of the three parts: cervicis, thoracis and capitis. Here, an additional muscular slip was identified on the left side of an adult male cross-breed dog cadaver. This ribbon-shaped slip arose indirectly via tendinous fibres from the transverse process of the second cervical vertebra and extended caudodorsally to join the capital part near its scapular insertion. The slip was innervated by ventral branches of the cervical spinal nerves, consistent with the usual supply of the rhomboideus complex and distinct from the neighbouring m. serratus ventralis cervicis, despite their segmental overlap. Such a variant of the m. rhomboideus has not been previously reported in dogs. Recognition of incidental muscular variations, particularly with regard to their innervation patterns, provides insights into embryologic development and phylogenetic relationships in carnivores.
