Anatomical and Technical Considerations of CT-Guided C1-C2 Lateral Joint Injections: Technique, Pitfalls, and Risks.
Article in Journal of pain research, 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
Cervicogenic headaches, often originating from the upper cervical spine, represent a significant chronic pain condition. The C1-C2 joint, comprising synovial-lined lateral mass articulations and a pivot joint, is a common pain generator. Understanding the intricate anatomy, including the important anatomical adjacencies, innervation, and pathology of these joints, is crucial for effective intervention. This review highlights the importance of preprocedural evaluation, patient positioning, and CT-guided injection technique to minimize complications. The benefits of CT over fluoroscopic guidance for these procedures are also examined, providing a step-by-step guide to ensure accurate and safe needle placement and injection. Additionally, this manuscript reviews potential risks such as intravascular injection and nerve damage, offering strategies to mitigate these risks. This comprehensive analysis aims to enhance the understanding and execution of C1-C2 joint injections, ultimately improving patient outcomes. Moreover, this review demonstrates the effectiveness and safety of the C1-2 joint injections under CT guidance.
