[Which diagnostic tests are indicated in the emergency department after trauma to the cervical spine?]
Review in Unfallchirurgie (Heidelberg, Germany), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Injuries to the cervical spine are a diagnostic challenge as, although they are rare in relation to the overall population, they should not be overlooked under any circumstances. This article presents the diagnostic procedure in the emergency department, starting with the patient's medical history and subsequently clinical and neurological examinations. As a result, the clinical decision tools national emergency X‑radiography utilization study (NEXUS) criteria and the Canadian C‑spine rule (CCR) are discussed. Finally, the current literature is reviewed considering the diagnostic examination options, taking the clinically relevant key questions into account.
