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

Os odontoideum is an unusual anatomic variant of the dens of C2 defined as an independent ossicle separated from the axis; the etiology is a topic of debate, with investigative studies supporting congenital and traumatic origins, clinical manifestations vary from asymptomatic forms, underlying C1-C2 instability to compression of the spinal cord or vertebrobasilar ischemia. We report a case of a patient with a history of minor trauma 5 years ago, she suffered from neck pain. The clinical examination was normal. Radiological examination including X-ray, CT, and MRI showed cervical myelopathy involving os odontoideum with C1-C2 instability and compressive retro-odontoid cyst. Imaging has an important role in the management of os odontoideum, from diagnosis to therapy.
