Anatomy and development of the craniovertebral junction.
Review in Neurological sciences : official journal of the Italian Neurological Society and of the Italian Society of Clinical Neurophysiology, 2011. 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
The occipital bone is the upper end of the somatic spine, limited cranially by the tentorium. The bony craniovertebral junction (caudal occiput, atlas, and axis) is interposed between the unsegmented occipital and the intersegmental spinal sclerotomes, separated from the occiput and C3 by the intrasegmental clefts of O4 and C2 sclerotomes, respectively. It retains a primitive segmental hypocentrum (anterior arch of C1) and is unsegmented from caudal O4 to cranial C2 half-sclerotomes (axis). Its morphology relates to the dual function of providing support and mobility (visual/olfactory/auditory pursuit, oral prehension) to the head. The early notochord passes through the odontoid tip to the basiocciput surface before entering the clivus up to the craniopharyngeal canal; later, the rostralmost chordal remnant is the C2/3 nucleus pulposus. Chondrification starts in the second fetal month and ossification in the fetal or postnatal periods depending on the structure.
