Cervical pedicle agenesis: case report and bibliographic review.
Review in Surgical and radiologic anatomy : SRA, 2020. 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
The posterior arch defects of the cervical spine are rare, and they arise out of deviations of the normal intrauterine development of the spine (4-8 weeks of development). The defects range from a cleft to the total agenesis of the posterior arch, with a reported prevalence of 4% and 0.15%, respectively. The pedicle agenesis is most frequently found in C6. A diagnosis is usually made after a traumatic incident in a previously asymptomatic patient. 35% of a patient's current symptoms are associated with instability or translation of the impaired vertebral segments like headaches, chronic pain, and neurological impairment. The clinical and radiological findings of a patient with an unusual and complex cervical spine malformation are reported. These are rare entities and seldom require surgical treatment. It is imperative for spine surgeons to be aware of these anatomical abnormalities to avoid misinterpretation and thus inappropriate treatment, particularly in acute trauma patients.
