Traumatic Atlantoaxial and Fracture-Related Dislocation.

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
Traumatic atlantoaxial dislocation due to ligamentous and combined osseous injuries rarely occurs in adults. There are only few cases published in the literature. In this level 4 study, a cohort of nine consecutive patients suffering from traumatic atlantoaxial dislocation has been analyzed regarding morphology of injury, trauma mechanism, and outcome since 2007. Three types of those injuries have been found regarding direction of dislocation indicating the underlying ligamentous injuries as well as the accompanying grade of instability. Firstly, there was rotatory dislocation, if the alar ligaments were injured. Secondly, there occurred horizontal dislocation, when transverse atlantal ligament was damaged additionally. Thirdly, excessive ligamentous injury led to distraction of the atlantoaxial complex resulting in dissociation of the atlas against the axis. Additionally fractures of the atlas as well as of the odontoid process (type II or III according to Anderson/D'Alonzo) were diagnosed frequently. Atlantoaxial dislocation injuries, especially distraction injuries, offer a high risk for accompanied neurovascular disorders deserving reduction followed by surgical fixation. Only rotatory injuries leading to ligamentous damage solitarily can safely be successfully treated conservatively. Understanding of the injuries' morphology is essential, in order to set the correct diagnosis and to implicate the most advantageous treatment regime.
