Management of Craniocervical Instability in Spondyloepiphyseal Dysplasia Congenita: Assessment of Literature and Presentation of Two Cases.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia congenita (SEDC) is a rare autosomal dominant skeletal dysplasia resulting in impairment of type II collagen function. Phenotypically, this results in various skeletal, ligamentous, ocular, and otologic abnormalities. Platyspondyly, scoliosis, ligamental laxity, and odontoid hypoplasia are common, resulting in myelopathy in a high number of patients due to atlantoaxial instability. Despite patients undergoing surgical fixation, complication rates such as nonunion have been reported to be high. Here within, we present two patients treated with occipitocervical fusion for atlantoaxial instability and early symptoms of progressive myelopathy. We additionally provide a detailed review of the literature to inform practitioners of the spinal manifestations and clinical considerations in SEDC.
