The demographic, clinical, and management differences between traumatic dens fracture patients with and without simultaneous atlas fractures.

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
Introduction: Atlas fractures often accompany traumatic dens fractures, but existing literature on the management of simultaneous atlantoaxial fractures is limited. Methods: We examined all patients with traumatic dens fractures at our institution between 2008 and 2018. We used multivariable logistic regression and ordinal logistic regression to identify factors independently associated with presentation with a simultaneous atlas fracture, as well myelopathy severity, fracture nonunion, and selection for surgery. Results: Two hundred and eighty-two patients with traumatic dens fractures without subaxial fractures were identified, including 65 (22.8%) with simultaneous atlas fractures. The distribution of injury mechanisms differed between groups (χ Conclusions: Among patients with traumatic dens, patients who have simultaneous atlas fractures are a distinct subpopulation with respect to age, mechanism of injury, fracture morphology, and management. Traumatic dens fractures with simultaneous atlas fractures are independently associated with selection for OCF rather than posterior cervical fusion alone.
