Neglected floating cervical spine fracture with myelopathy and Anderson lesion of D2 D3: report of an unusual case.
Article in Spinal cord series and cases, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
introductionThe cervical spine is the most commonly affected region in traumatic spine injuries of patients with Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS), accounting for 75% of cases, followed by the thoracic and lumbar spine. The fracture may not be detectable in plain radiographs alone due to pre-existing kyphotic deformity with distorted anatomy and high-riding shoulders. CASE PRESENTATION: We present a case with a floating cervical spine following a trivial trauma injury and with cervical myelopathy symptoms. After posterior fixation of the cervico-thoracic spine, the patient improved with Nurick score and mJOA score improvement. After 6 months follow up the patient was walking without support, and myelopathy symptoms were negligible. DISCUSSION: In this patient, a posterior approach was performed. We obtained a rigid construct so that we were able to mobilize a patient on the very next day and his myelopathy symptoms improved with minimal postoperative complications.
