Spontaneous Osseous Fusion after Remodeling Therapy for Chronic Atlantoaxial Rotatory Fixation and Recovery Mechanism of Rotatory Range of Motion of the Cervical Spine.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
We aimed to investigate the risk factors of spontaneous osseous fusion (SOF) of the atlantoaxial joint after closed reduction under general anesthesia followed by halo fixation (remodeling therapy) for chronic atlantoaxial rotatory fixation, and to elucidate the recovery mechanism of the rotatory range of motion (ROM) after halo removal. Twelve patients who underwent remodeling therapy were retrospectively reviewed. Five patients with SOF were categorized as the fusion group and seven patients without SOF as the non-fusion group. Three dimensional CT was used to detect direct osseous contact (DOC) of facet joints before and during halo fixation, while dynamic CT at neutral and maximally rotated head positions was performed to measure rotatory ROM after halo removal. The duration from onset to initial visit was significantly longer (3.2 vs. 5.7 months,
