Usefulness of a New Electronic Conductivity Device with a Pedicle Probe and a Multi-axis Angiography Unit for Inserting a C1 Lateral Mass Screw Safely and Tightly: A Technical Note.

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
The C1 lateral mass screw (LMS) is widely used as one of the screws for atlantoaxial fixation. Tight bicortical screwing from the posterior to anterior cortical margin of the atlas is recommended. However, important structures, such as the internal carotid artery, are located around this area so precision is required to avoid injuring them. We describe the usefulness of a new electronic conductivity device (ECD) with a pedicle probe and a multi-axis angiography unit for inserting the C1 LMS. Four consecutive patients who were treated with C1 and C2 posterior fixation using an ECD and a multi-axis angiography unit in the hybrid operating room were included. All patients were treated successfully. Seven of eight bicortical screws could be inserted into the perfectly ideal location. The median (interquartile range) distance from the anterior margin of the atlas to the tip of the screw was 0.81 mm (0.43, 1.21 mm). This study suggested that the ECD and multi-axis angiography unit are useful for inserting the C1 LMS safely and tightly.
