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

backgroundAtlantoaxial dislocation usually results in sudden death. The patient had never found any axial lesion before, and the atlantoaxial joint dislocation was caused by rotation of the neck due to discomfort of the neck. The patient was given surgical treatment after the rescue of respiratory and cardiac arrest during transportation, which was extremely rare and rarely reported.

methodsA 62-year-old male patient presented with limited cervical mobility after a violent rotation of the neck due to neck discomfort. X-ray and computed tomography (CT) scan suggested atlantoaxial dislocation. Sudden respiratory and cardiac arrest during transportation was immediately followed by continuous cranial traction and successful occipital and neck fusion operation.

resultsAfter the successful rescue of endotracheal intubation, the patient was given continuous cranial traction. After the completion of CT scan, the patient was given occipital neck fusion, and 6 days after the surgery, the patient wore the skull-neck-thorax brace and walked freely.

conclusionContinuous cranial traction and posterior occipitocervical fusion are effective methods for treating axial pathological fracture with atlantoaxial dislocation. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 5.
