Management of cervical spine trauma in children.
Review in European journal of trauma and emergency surgery : official publication of the European Trauma Society, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 24 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposePaediatric cervical spine injuries are fortunately a rare entity. However, they do have the potential for devastating neurological sequelae with lifelong impact on the patient and their family. Thus, management ought to be exceptional from the initial evaluation at the scene of the injury, through to definitive management and rehabilitation.
methodsWe set out to review cervical spine injuries in children and advise on current best practice with regards to management.
resultsEpidemiology, initial management at the scene of injury, radiological findings and pitfalls of cervical spine trauma are outlined. Strategies for conservative and surgical management are detailed depending on the pattern of injury. The management of spinal cord injuries without radiological abnormality (SCIWORA) and cranio-cervical arterial injuries is also reviewed.
conclusionsDue to a paucity of evidence in these rare conditions, expert opinion is necessary to guide best practice management and to ensure the best chance of a good outcome for the injured child.
