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
Background: Atlas is the first cervical vertebra. Rarely, does the atlas vertebra fuse with the occipital bone, and this occipitalization of the atlas is known as the assimilation of the atlas. Congenital fusion of the atlas with the occipital bone is the common denominator of a galaxy of skull defects, several examples of bony distortion of the foramen magnum were reported by early anatomists. Materials and Method: A total of 210 dry skulls of unknown sex and age from Dr. Rajendra Gode Medical College, Amravati, Department of Anatomy, and various other medical, Dental, and Ayurveda colleges from Amravati were studied. Each skull was carefully observed for variations. Result: During the study, we observed Atlanto-occipital assimilation in 2 skulls. One skull showed complete occipitalization and another skull showed partial occipitalization meaning a bifid posterior arch. Conclusion: Detection and treatment of this deformity are essential as this deformity often causes cervical spine instability.
