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

Background: Chiari malformation type 1 (CM1) associated with atlas assimilation (AA) is rarely encountered in children without syringomyelia. Here, a 13-year-old child underwent an original foramen magnum decompression (FMD) for a CM1. Seven years after the index surgery, at age 20, the patient required secondary surgery to address recurrent C1 stenosis attributed to CM1/AA performed without a duraplasty. Case Description: A 13-year-old child originally presented with headaches and CM1 and AA, for which he underwent a FMD without duraplasty. Seven years later, at the age of 20, he developed recurrent C1 stenosis attributed to dorsal bony proliferation of the lamina of the atlas. Following a secondary mini-open exoscopic decompression without duraplasty, he became asymptomatic. Conclusion: For patients with CM1 without syringomyelia, recurrent stenosis may be successfully managed with repeated mini-open exoscopic bony decompression.
