Pathologic Fracture of Odontoid Process Due to Metastasis of Bronchial Carcinoma: A Rare Cause of Neck Pain.
Article in Journal of the West African College of Surgeons. 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
The common cause of neck pain in the elderly is degenerative disease. Metastasis to the atlantoaxial spine is rare and is a sequela of prostate cancer, thyroid carcinoma, breast cancer, nasopharyngeal cancer, rhabdomyosarcoma, renal cell carcinoma, or bronchial carcinoma. We present the case of a healthy 66-year-old female patient with severe neck pain with loss of range of motion (ROM) as an index sign of pathologic fracture caused by odontoid process metastasis due to bronchial carcinoma. After staging C2 vertebroblasty was planned, but not performed because the general condition of the patient worsened rapidly until death within 4 weeks after first symptoms.
