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

We retrospectively analyzed atlantoaxial dislocation (AAD) of various pathologies, namely, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), os odontoideum, and trauma. Various techniques were discussed in relation to C1-C2 stabilization. The study aims to share our clinical experience in a series of six cases of C1-C2 instability that underwent posterior C1-C2 fusion, with free hand technique and limited fluoroscopy. The clinicoradiological presentation for each patient is described. We reviewed different literatures related to our case vividly and focused on the basic neuroanatomy involved in the atlantoaxial joint. All patients of AAD had evidence of severe canal compromise and chronic compressive spinal cord changes. In our study, the patients age ranged from 28 to 52 years. The study included four males and two females. Out of six patients of AAD, three had history of trauma, two had os odontoideum, and one had chronic inflammatory condition (RA). From our case series, we concluded that the Goel-Harms technique is the most versatile and surgeon friendly technique for C1-C2 fixation. Early recognition and surgical intervention of atlantoaxial joint instability is essential to prevent catastrophic neurological complications.
