Triangular-Shaped Odontoid Process With Chiari 1 Malformation Patient.
Article in Cureus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Several anatomical variations of osseous structures around the craniovertebral junction (CVJ) have been observed in those presenting with Chiari 1 malformation (CM-1) due to the junction's unique embryology and its pivotal role in neck stability. During a clinic visit, a 14-year-old female presented with the classic symptoms of CM-1. Upon follow-up imaging and confirmation of the inferiorly displaced cerebellar tonsils, a unique triangular-shaped odontoid process was identified. To our knowledge, this osseous malformation of the dens has not been reported in the current literature. This unique deviation may cause ligamentous instability and decreased motion capacity and predispose a patient to axial fractures. Thus, we aim to further discuss this case, cervical vertebrae axis (C2) embryology, and the resulting clinical significance of this observed odontoid process variant.
