1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Introduction: Spinal cord injury (SCI) with atlantoaxial dislocation (AAD) is often fatal. We present the case of a resuscitated patient with AAD and traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) at the craniovertebral junction (CVJ). Case presentation: We present the case of an 84-year-old man who suffered an observed cardiopulmonary arrest. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation was initiated and spontaneous circulation returned. In the emergency room, the patient's Glasgow Coma Scale was 3 (E1V1M1). No spontaneous respiration was noted. Neuroimaging revealed SAH at the CVJ. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) revealed a vessel running through the left C2/3 intervertebral foramen into the spinal canal. The ventral space of spinal cord revealed contrast enhancement. Angiography revealed extravasation from the spinal branch of the left vertebral artery, without venous filling. It did not appear to be a vascular malformation with an arteriovenous shunt, but rather a traumatic laceration of the artery. Plain CT and CT angiography suggested AAD. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed injury to the medulla oblongata and upper cervical spinal cord, with AAD and retrodental subligamentous hemorrhage. We embolized the branch of the left vertebral artery and performed a C1 laminectomy. The patient moved his extremities postoperatively. Discussion: This was a case of injury to the medulla oblongata and upper cervical spinal cord due to AAD with SAH. This is the first report of resuscitated case of traumatic AAD with SAH in the CVJ. Traumatic AAD should be included in the differential diagnosis in case of SAH in CVJ, which may be misdiagnosed as intrinsic SAH.
