Rotational Bow Hunter's ischemic stroke caused by post-traumatic os odontoideum in an older patient: An illustrative case.

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: Bow Hunter's syndrome (BHS) is a rare condition in which head rotation or extension temporarily compresses the vertebral artery (VA), reducing blood flow to the posterior circulation. Here, a 66-year-old male developed BHS when left neck rotation caused VA compression due to a congenital os odontoideum. Case Description: A 66-year-old male presented with loss of consciousness following hyperextension/left neck rotation. Imaging revealed a chronic odontoid fracture (Anderson Type II or here likely congenital os odontoideum) with tortuosity of the right VA in the V3 segment. Notably, a posteriorly dislocated odontoid fragment caused occlusion of the dominant right VA at the ponticulus posticus, thus causing BHS. Following C1-C2 fusion, the patient's symptoms resolved. Conclusion: An: A66-year-old male who sustained cervical hyperextension/left rotation at the C1-C2 level developed occlusion of the right VA and BHS due to an os odontoideum.
