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 describe a patient with goose-neck posture as the presenting form of cervical dystonia. In our case, the bilateral semispinalis capitis muscles were hypertrophic, thick, and overactive while both splenius capitis and sternocleidomastoid muscles were normal. In this single case experience, we demonstrated that the semispinalis capitis muscle may play a primary role in causing a goose-neck posture and the observed forward sagittal shift may be a compensatory or overflow activity of neck flexor muscles. Therefore, botulinum toxin injection to the semispinalis capitis muscles can be considered in the management of patients with goose-neck posture.
