Atlas posterior arch and vertebral artery's groove variants: a classification, morphometric study, clinical and surgical implications.
Article in Surgical and radiologic anatomy : SRA, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
backgroundThe third part of the vertebral artery (VA) coursing in vertebral artery groove (VAG) may be injured during posterior craniocervical junction approaches.
objectiveThe current study classifies all possible variants of the posterior arch (PA) of the atlas vertebra (C MATERIALS AND

resultsA VAG and an imprint were detected in 42.62% and 15.16%. A PDP and CDP were observed in 18.03% and 15.98%, while a CLP and PLP in 2.05% and 1.64%, respectively. Combined PDP and PLP were detected in 2.05%, a CDP and CLP similarly to a CDP and PLP in 1.23% and a PDP and CLP in 0.40%.
conclusionsVariants' classification will contribute to an in depth understanding of the complex C
