Direct Screw Osteosynthesis for an Elderly Osteoporotic Patient With C2 Complex Fracture.
Article in Cureus, 2023. 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
There are various types of C2 fractures, including odontoid fractures, hangman fractures, and complex fractures, which involve the vertebral body or multiple fracture types. The published literature on C2 complex fractures is limited, and treatment strategies have not yet been established. An 80-year-old woman with a history of osteoporosis, brain stroke, and cervical spondylosis fell and sustained a C2 complex fracture. Initial treatment with a cervical collar was unsuccessful and a C2 direct screw osteosynthesis surgery was performed under an image-guided three-dimensional navigation system. The surgical procedure was successfully performed with a surgical time of 83 minutes and a blood loss of 31 ml. Her neck pain improved after surgery. Follow-up CT scans revealed acceptable healing of the fracture four months later. C2 direct screw osteosynthesis is a viable treatment option for C2 complex fractures, particularly in elderly patients who may benefit from early stabilization of the fracture to prevent complications associated with long-term conservative treatment.
