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

introductionThe craniocervical junction is a vital component in understanding the function of the human central nervous system. It is the threshold for major pathways affecting both brain and spinal cord function, and these structures are intricately housed in a network of bone, ligaments, and soft tissues. Abnormal development of any of these components may lead to altered structure, and therefore, altered function in the central nervous system. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe herein describe a set of genetic syndromes that commonly affect the craniovertebral junction and offer clinical examples from more than 6,000 patients who have been treated for these disorders. DISCUSSION: The syndromes described include Chiari type I malformation, Conradi syndrome, Goldenhar syndrome, Klippel-Feil syndrome, Larsen syndrome, Morquio syndrome, Pierre-Robin syndrome, spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia congenital and Weaver syndrome. The genetic mechanisms responsible for these disorders may offer unique insight into the developmental pathways and patterning in the musculoskeletal and cranial systems and may, ultimately, guide future diagnosis and treatment.
