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

The interscalene triangle is a key cervicothoracic gateway bounded by the anterior and middle scalene muscles and the first rib. It transmits the roots and trunks of the brachial plexus (C5-T1) and the subclavian artery (SA), while the subclavian vein (SV) courses anterior to the anterior scalene muscle and the phrenic nerve (PN) descends along its anterior surface. Cadaveric dissection highlights these critical topographic relationships, providing an anatomical basis for understanding thoracic outlet syndrome, optimizing ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia, and minimizing the risk of iatrogenic nerve injury during cervicothoracic surgery.
