Case of pedicle lag screw fixation for oblique axis body and pars fractures with displacement.
Article in Surgical neurology international, 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
Background: Multiple axis fractures with instability are rare and appropriate treatment modalities have not been established. Case Description: A 33-year-old male presented with severe neck pain, bilateral upper-extremity numbness, and brisk reflexes in both lower extremities of 14 days' duration after a car accident. The cervical CT revealed an oblique C2 body fracture and asymmetrical neural ring fractures, while the MRI showed a normal C2-3 disk. As traction failed to reduce the fracture, the patient underwent an anterior retropharyngeal approach to release the fracture fragments, followed by posteriorly passing bilateral C2 pedicle lag screws. Eight months later, the patient exhibited full range of motion across the C1-2 level with fusion of the previously noted fractures. Conclusion: A 33-year-old male with an unstable C2 body fracture and asymmetrical neural ring fractures successfully underwent an anterior retropharyngeal approach to release the fracture fragments, followed by posteriorly passing bilateral C2 pedicle lag screws to achieve stability/fusion.
