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 is a rare injury following high-energy trauma. We report an undescribed complication of atlantoaxial dislocation. CASE DESCRIPTION: A 75-year-old man presented with atlantoaxial dislocation and Jefferson C1 fracture after a high-energy trauma. Occipitoaxial stabilizations were performed the day after. A nasopharyngeal fistula was identified at day 5 causing a persistent epistaxis.

conclusionNasopharyngeal fistulization of C1 bony fragment is a rare complication of complex occipitocervical injury. Combined treatment with ENT surgeon should be considered.
