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

abstractThe pectoralis minor (PMi) is a key muscle of the pectoral region, situated deep to the pectoralis major. It plays a crucial role in connecting the upper limb to the thoracic cage. During a routine dissection of a male cadaver, we observed a rare case of unilateral congenital absence of the PMi. This finding highlights the clinical significance of anatomical variations of the pectoral muscles. Awareness of such variations is essential for physicians, surgeons, and anesthesiologists, as it impacts the diagnosis and management of patients with congenital chest, shoulder, and limb deformities, as well as surgical procedures in this region.
