Surgical anatomy of neurovascular structures related to ventral C1-2 complex: an anatomical study.
Article in Surgical and radiologic anatomy : SRA, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
objectiveTransoral odontoidectomy and ventral C1-2 stabilization are important surgical procedures, performed to decompress ventral spinal cord, and to stabilize craniovertebral junction. These procedures require knowledge regarding surgical anatomy of neurovascular structures ventral to the C1-2 complex. The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationships between neurovascular structures and bony landmarks in ventral atlantoaxial complex. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis study was performed on six formaldehyde fixed cadaveric head and neck specimens. Relevant anatomical parameters, including distances from the midsagittal line to internal carotid arteries (ICA), vertebral arteries (VA), and hypoglossal nerves (HN), were measured using electronic calipers.
resultsThe mean distance between ICA and midsagittal line was observed as 26.13 mm at the level of axis and 24.67 mm at the level of the atlas. The mean distance between VA and midsagittal line was observed as 15.38 mm at the level of axis and 26.54 mm at the level of the atlas. The mean distance between HN and midsagittal line was observed as 33.27 and 33.58 mm at the level of the atlas and axis, respectively.
conclusionThis study confirmed that ICA and HN proceeded ventrally or laterally along the lateral aspect of the C1 lateral mass; therefore, the area located ventrally along the medial components of the C1 lateral mass was the safe zone for anterior surgical approach.
