Concomitant odontoid and cervicothoracic junction fractures in an elderly patient: A rare case report.
Article in Surgical neurology international, 2026. 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
Background: Concomitant odontoid fractures associated with subaxial cervical lesions are extremely rare and present both diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Case Description: A 70-year-old man presented after a high-energy car accident with severe posterior neck pain but no neurological deficit. Computed tomography imaging revealed a type II odontoid fracture and a C7-T1 fracture-dislocation. He underwent anterior odontoid screw fixation followed by anterior cervical discectomy and fusion at the same session. Postoperative recovery was uneventful, and follow-up imaging confirmed solid fusion at 6 months. Conclusion: This case highlights the feasibility and safety of single-session, all-anterior stabilization for concomitant upper and lower cervical fractures in a selected elderly patient, achieving solid fusion with minimal morbidity.
