Evaluation and Surgical Planning for Craniovertebral Junction Deformity.
Article in Neurospine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 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
Craniovertebral junction (CVJ) deformity is a challenging pathology that can result in progressive deformity, myelopathy, severe neck pain, and functional disability, such as difficulty swallowing. Surgical management of CVJ deformity is complex for anatomical reasons; given the discreet relationships involved in the surrounding neurovascular structures and intricate biochemical issues, access to this region is relatively difficult. Evaluation of the reducibility, CVJ alignment, and direction of the mechanical compression may determine surgical strategy. If CVJ deformity is reducible, posterior in situ fixation may be a viable solution. If the deformity is rigid and the C1-2 facet is fixed, osteotomy may be necessary to make the C1-2 facet joint reducible. C1-2 facet release with vertical reduction technique could be useful, especially when the C1-2 facet joint is the primary pathology of CVJ kyphotic deformity or basilar invagination. The indications for transoral surgery are becoming as narrow as a treatment for CVJ deformity. In this article, we will discuss CVJ alignment and various strategies for the management of CVJ deformity and possible ways to prevent complications and improve surgical outcomes.
