Torticollis in an 8-year-old child due to Grisel's syndrome - A case report.
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: Grisel's syndrome is a nontraumatic atlantoaxial subluxation resulting from an ongoing local inflammatory process. Case Description: An 8-year-old male presented to the emergency department with neck pain which was sudden in onset without any history of any significant fall or trauma. On physical examination, the patient had torticollis with a head tilt to the left side and the chin rotated to the right. The CT scan confirmed atlantoaxial subluxation with C1 rotated to the right on the odontoid process without anterior displacement. The patient was managed conservatively with antibiotics, anti-inflammatory agents, and head-halter traction. Conclusion: As Grisel's syndrome can have catastrophic outcomes, early diagnosis and treatment are critical. It must be considered in patients presenting with acute torticollis following an infection or prior surgery.
