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

Pycnodysostosis is a rare hereditary disease, characterized by systemic bone sclerosis. Susceptibility to long bone fractures is characteristic, whereas vertebral fractures are extremely rare. We report a case of a 21-year-old man with a past history of pycnodysostosis and spontaneous leg fractures who was admitted in hospital for a neck pain after a banal fall. Radiological examination revealed C1-C2-C3 posterior arch fractures with a C3-C4 left articular fracture dislocation. A surgical stabilization was decided but refused by the patient. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first publication that reports pycnodysostosis with cervical spine traumatic staged injuries.
