Innervation analysis of the small muscle bundles attached to the temporalis: truly new muscles or merely derivatives of the temporalis?
Article in Surgical and radiologic anatomy : SRA, 1998. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
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
Detailed examinations were performed in ten temporal muscles from five cadavers to identify the muscle bundle arrangements of the temporalis and their innervation. Three additional muscle bundles were clearly observed in the main part of the fan-shaped temporalis: the anteromedial, anterolateral, and mid-lateral muscle bundles. Based on the origins, insertions and detailed innervation patterns, these bundles were considered as parts of the temporalis rather than independent muscles, although the anteromedial and anterolateral bundles had been recently reported as newly described muscles. A possible schematic model of the origins of these muscle bundles is proposed. We also report a branch from the posterior deep temporal nerve which was distributed to the temporal fascia and to the skin of the temporal region.
