Cervical Disc and Ligamentous Injury in Hyperextension Trauma: MRI and Intraoperative Correlation.
Article in Journal of neuroimaging : official journal of the American Society of Neuroimaging, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 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
background and purposeTo identify and evaluate diagnostic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features in patients with suspicion of discoligamentous cervical injury after hyperextension trauma of the cervical spine.
methodsMR images with a standard protocol (1.5 T, including sagittal T2-weighted images and short tau inversion recovery [STIR]) in 21 patients without any sign of fracture or instability on multidetector computed tomography of the cervical spine were assessed. Among other structures we evaluated the following: prevertebral hematoma, anterior longitudinal ligament (ALL), intervertebral disc, and spinal cord. Presence and the anatomic level of injury were identified and recorded. Results were then compared with intraoperative findings as a reference standard. Simple descriptive statistical analysis, agreement coefficients (given by calculating the percent agreement), and the determination of Gwet's AC1 coefficient were used to analyze our results.
resultsThe overall percent agreement between STIR and intraoperative findings was 90.9% (AC1 = .881) and for T2 69.7% (AC1 = .498). For the ALL, the overall agreement was 87.9% (AC1 = .808) and for the intervertebral disc 78.8% (AC1 = .673), in which STIR always showed a higher agreement. Prevertebral hematoma was found in 20 of 21 patients with the maximum thickness at the same anatomic level as the intraoperatively proven lesion in 12 of 18 patients (67%). Edema and/or hemorrhage of the spinal cord was shown in 16 of 21 being at the same anatomic level as the intraoperatively confirmed pathology in 16 of 16 patients (100%).
conclusionsMRI is a reliable tool for the evaluation of discoligamentous injuries in the cervical spine, with ancillary features proven as helpful information.
