The Significance of Odontoid Incidence in Patients With Cervical Spondylotic Myelopathy.
Article in Global spine journal, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
STUDY
designObservational study.
objectiveTo analyze the cervical sagittal parameters for standing Digital radiography (DR) and supine Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and to further clarify the relationship between odontoid incidence (OI) and cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM).
methods52 CSM patients aged 54.46 ± 2.89 years underwent both standing DR and supine MRI scans of cervical spine between November 2021 and November 2022. OI, odontoid tilt (OT), C2 slope (C2S), T1 slope (T1S), C0-2 angle, C2-7 angle (cervical lordosis [CL]), and T1S-CL were measured in both DR and MRI images using Surgimap (
resultsCervical sagittal parameters, including OI, OT, C2S, C0-2 angle, T1S, C2-7 angle (CL) and T1S-CL, showed no significant differences in the measurements between the two modalities. Based on the DR images, OI was related to OT (r = .386, P < .01), C2S (r = .505, P < .01), CL (r = -.412, P < .01), and T1S-CL (r = .320, P < .05), and OI was matched with CL (r2 = .170) and T1S-CL (r2 = .102). Based on MRI images, OI was related to OT (r = .433, P < .01), C2S (r = .516, P < .01), CL (r = -.355, P < .01), and T1S-CL (r = .271, P < .05), and OI matched with C2-7 (r2 = .126) and T1S-CL (r2 = .073).
conclusionOI is an independent parameter related to cervical anatomy and its measurement is unaffected by external factors. In patients with CSM, odontoid parameters may effectively describe the sagittal alignment of the cervical spine on DR and MRI images.
