Management of severe traumatic flexion-distraction injuries in a multisystem trauma patient: A case report.
Article in Trauma case reports, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
STUDY
designCase report and relevant literature review.
objectiveTo discuss the management of severe flexion-distraction injury of the subaxial cervical spine in a multisystem trauma patient. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: Traumatic cervical spine injury from flexion-distraction injury can cause significant instability requiring extensive instrumentation complicated by vascular and soft tissue injuries.
methodsThe medical record of a patient who suffered traumatic flexion-distraction injury was reviewed for relevant clinical and radiology data. A literature review on the management of traumatic cervical injuries was performed using the
resultsWe report a case of 21-year-old woman who suffered a C5-C6 flexion-distraction injury. After she underwent anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF), her care was transferred to the senior author (S.K.) due to the severity of the distraction. The patient returned to the OR the next day and underwent removal of implants at C5 and corpectomy with anterior and posterior instrumentation.
conclusionThere are many ways to manage a flexion-distraction injury of the cervical spine. In a polytrauma patient, the surgical strategy can become complex. We present a surgical option with an acceptable outcome.
