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 investigate the anatomical indexes and anatomical positional indexes of the atlantoaxial synchondroses in normal Chinese Han children aged 1-6 years, and to analyze the changing law of the atlantoaxial cartilage union with the growth and development of age and its influence on the atlantoaxial ossification in children.

methodsA retrospective collection of CT imaging of 160 cases of normal cervical spine in children aged 1 to 6 years old was conducted. The cases were divided into six age groups, with each group representing a one-year age range. Measure the morphological anatomical indicators and anatomical positional indicators of the atlantoaxial synchondroses. Record and statistically analyze the measurements of each indicator.

resultsMeasurements were taken on various parameters of the atlantoaxial synchondroses. TD, SD, height, area, and perimeter all gradually decreased among the groups. Distance between bilateral atlantal anterolateral synchondroses increased gradually from Group A to Group F, while the angle formed along the long axis in the cross-section showed a decreasing trend. Distance between the axoid dentolateral synchondroses and between the neurocentral synchondroses increased gradually from Group A to Group F, with the angle value in the cross-section showing a gradual decrease, and distance from the odontoid apex increasing from Group A to Group F.

conclusionsThe atlantoaxial synchondroses gradually decrease in size with age, and ossification levels increase with age, with faster ossification occurring during a 1-2 years-old period. The anterolateral synchondroses, dentolateral synchondroses, and neurocentral synchondroses all gradually ossify towards the lateral direction with increasing age.
