Bilateral quadricipital biceps brachii: a rare anatomical variation with clinical implications.
Article in Anatomy & cell biology, 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
We report our observation of bilateral quadricipital biceps brachii muscle with usual coracoid and glenoid heads and two supernumerary heads arising from the anterior surface of the humerus above the origin of the brachialis muscle. On each side, the lateral supernumerary head merged with the fleshy part of the long head, and the medial heads inserted into the biceps tendon and partially contributed to the bicipital aponeurosis. The median nerve and brachial artery coursed medial to these supernumerary heads, which posed no perceivable risk of neurovascular compression. This variation highlights the complexity and clinical relevance of upper limb muscular anatomy. The occurrence of a four- or five-headed biceps brachii remains exceedingly rare. This paper includes a review of similar cases previously reported in the literature.
