Traumatic Chance Fracture of Cervical Spine: A Rare Fracture Type and Surgical Management.
Article in Asian journal of neurosurgery. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Cervical spine chance fracture (flexion-distraction) is a rare type of fracture, and the surgical management remains a dilemma to the neurosurgeons as there is a paucity of evidence accordingly. We herein report a traumatic chance fracture of C7 fractures and its surgical management. A 33-year-old male was transferred to our center after being hit as pedestrian and was diagnosed to have a chance fracture of C7 and bilateral C7 root injury. He underwent open reduction of the deformity by posterior-only fixation of C5 and C6 with a lateral mass screw and T1 and T2 with pedicular screws. The neurological examination improved postoperatively, and the patients were neurologically intact after 6 months of treatment. Traumatic cervical spine chance fracture is extremely rare and can be managed surgically through posterior fixation and open reduction of the deformity. The best choice of treatment is limited by the paucity of the evidence and should be individualized.
