Successful recovery from cardiac arrest due to atlantoaxial subluxation in Down syndrome: a case report.

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
introductionDown syndrome is the most common chromosomal abnormality associated with intellectual impairments. Unexpected deaths are common with this disease. There are certain difficulties in clarifying the cause of death because the manifestations may be quite diverse and involve many organ systems. Atlantoaxial subluxation is a dangerous complication of Down syndrome, as it may lead to cervical cord-medullary compression. CASE PRESENTATION: Herein, we present a case of Down syndrome in a patient who completely recovered from cardiac arrest due to atlantoaxial subluxation. The neck was immobilized during post-cardiac arrest care, and the patient underwent surgery after 14 days. The patient could walk independently and was discharged 3 months later. At the last follow-up 5 years after surgery, the patient's general condition was good. DISCUSSION: Physicians should be aware that atlantoaxial instability can cause cardiac arrest in patients with genetic syndromes.
