Chronic hypertrophic malunion of C2 Fracture causing cervical quadriparesis; Case report and focused literature review.
Article in Surgical neurology international, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundPseudarthrosis of Type II C2 odontoid fractures typically leads to displacement and subluxation resulting in canal compression/cervical myelopathy. CASE DESCRIPTION: Here, we present a 43-year-old male who sustained cervical trauma 28 years ago. He now presented with an acute 10-day onset of quadriparesis attributed to a chronic malunion of an unstable type II odontoid fracture. He successfully underwent a circumferential decompression and fusion (e.g., warranting a trans-oral odontoidectomy followed by C1-C3 posterior fusion).
conclusionProgressive cervical myelopathy attributed to a chronic malunion of a type II odontoid fracture may require circumferential decompression/stabilization (e.g., an anterior decompression with osteophyte resection and posterior C1-C3 spinal stabilization).
