Severe dysphagia after a posterior cervical spine fusion at the C1-C3 level and its improvement after correction surgery for malalignment: a case report.
Article in Journal of medical case reports, 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
backgroundThe development of dysphagia and trismus following posterior C1-C3 fusion is rare compared to occipitocervical fusion, and there are very few reports in the literature. CASE PRESENTATION: A 75-year-old Thai man who had an extradural tumor at the C1/C2 level developed severe dysphagia and trismus immediately after tumor resection and C1-C3 fusion. During the surgery for malalignment correction, the C1-C2 screws were re-aligned into an increased lordotic position. The symptoms resolved immediately post-surgery.
conclusionsShort upper cervical fusion can produce trismus and dysphagia in a relatively flexed position. Preoperative planning should be individualized based on the patient's resting neutral alignment to prevent complications.
