1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveTo develop posterior reduction forceps for atlantoaxial dislocation and evaluate the preliminary clinical application of this forceps in assisting simple posterior screw-rod system reduction and fixation in the treatment of irreducible atlantoaxial dislocation.

methodsBased on the posterior atlantoaxial screw-rod system, posterior reduction forceps was developed to assist simple posterior screw-rod system for the treatment of irreducible atlantoaxial dislocation. From January 2021 to October 2022, 10 cases with irreducible atlantoaxial dislocation were treated with this technique. The Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score was applied before and after surgery to evaluate the neurological status of the patient, and the Atlanto-dental interval (ADI) was measured before and after surgery to evaluate the atlantoaxial reduction. X-ray and CT were performed to evaluate internal fixation, atlantoaxial sequence and bone graft fusion during regular follow-up. MRI was performed to evaluate the status of atlantoaxial reduction and spinal cord compression after surgery.

resultsAll 10 patients were successfully operated, and there were no complications such as spinal nerve and vascular injury. Postoperative clinical symptoms were significantly relieved in all patients, and postoperative JOA score and ADI were significantly improved compared with those before surgery (P < 0.05).

conclusionsThe developed posterior reduction forceps for atlantoaxial dislocation can assist the simple posterior screw-rod system in the treatment of irreducible atlantoaxial dislocation to avoid the release in anterior or posterior approach and reduce the difficulty of surgery. The preliminary results of this technique are satisfactory and it has a good application prospect.
