Translaminar screw of C1 for the reinforcement of subaxial cervical spine reconstruction.

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
Translaminar screws in the cervical spine have been mostly employed at C2 level when conventional trajectories are challenging. However, reports in the literature of translaminar screw of C1 are remarkably anecdotal. We aimed to report a case using C1 translaminar in addition to C1 lateral mass screws for the reinforcement of subaxial cervical spine reconstruction. We present a 22-year-old female patient, who developed persistent cervical pain, and computed tomography scan demonstrated lytic lesions of the vertebral bodies and lateral masses from C3 to C6. Magnetic resonance imaging showed spinal cord compression without myelopathy. Surgical biopsy was inconclusive, and an oncological vertebral instability led to surgical stabilization. Laminectomy and bilateral facetectomy of levels involved was achieved, instrumentation from C1 to T3 and reconstruction with posterolateral fibula bilaterally, and without occipital fixation. A third satellite rod was placed using C1-2-7 translaminar screws. Translaminar screw of C1 is a feasible alternative for increasing the strength of the construct.
