Proatlas anomalies in craniofacial malformations: 5-year experience in King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital.
Review in Child's nervous system : ChNS : official journal of the International Society for Pediatric Neurosurgery, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
purposeTo review the prevalences of proatlas anomalies in craniofacial malformations and evaluate the relation between craniofacial malformation and proalast anomalies.
methodsThe 221 patients with craniofacial malformation who underwent CT facial bone and 3D brain in King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital (KCMH). Then, the craniofacial malformed patients are classified into six groups composed of craniosynostosis, cephalocele, midface anomaly, facial and branchial arch syndrome, facial cleft face, and others. Reviewing image finding by the researcher and the radiologist advisor was done separately and gave the consensus in the case with disagreement. Qualitative analysis of the prevalence of proatlas anomalies was achieved. In addition, assessment of the relationship between craniofacial malformation and proatlas anomalies was conducted using Pearson's chi-square test to determine statistical significance.
resultThe proatlas anomalies were presented in 26 patients of 221 craniofacial malformed patients. Details of frequentative proatlas anomalies consist of pre-basioccipital arch in eight patients, os odontoideum in five patients, bony mass along the margin of foramen magnum in three patients, atlas assimilation in two patients, hypertrophic occipital condyle in one patient, third occipital condyle in one patient, and mixed characteristic of proatlas anomalies in six patients. These results represented pre-basioccipital arch and os odontoideum as the two most common presentations among proatlas anomalies and also showed significant existence of proatlas diseases in craniofacial malformation (p value = 0.006).
conclusionOur results emphasize the existence of proatlas anomalies which should be carefully looked for, particularly in craniofacial malformed patients due to significant statistical correlation.
