Lessons learned from cervical pseudoarthrosis in ankylosing spondylitis.
Article in European spine journal : official publication of the European Spine Society, the European Spinal Deformity Society, and the European Section of the Cervical Spine Research Society, 2005. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
This case report illustrates three learning points about cervical fractures in ankylosing spondylitis, and it highlights the need to manage these patients with the neck initially stabilised in flexion. We describe a case of cervical pseudoarthrosis that is a rare occurrence after fracture of the cervical spine with ankylosing spondylitis. This went undetected until the development of myelopathic symptoms many months later. The neck was initially stabilised in flexion using tongs, and then slowly extended before anterior and posterior fixation was performed. The myelopathic symptoms resolved, and the patient had a good result at 18 months. We conclude that any increased movement of the spine after trauma in ankylosing spondylitis must be considered suspect and fully investigated.
