CT evaluation of pediatric craniocervical distraction injuries: a comprehensive review of morphometric parameters and practical applications.
Review in Pediatric radiology, 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
Craniocervical distraction injuries in children are uncommon but can be fatal, often resulting from high-impact trauma. Because these injuries predominantly affect ligaments, CT findings may be subtle or may occur without obvious fracture or malalignment. This review consolidates the relevant anatomy and key CT-based morphometric parameters essential for recognizing such injuries, including the basion-dens interval, Occipital condyle-C1 interval, atlanto-dental interval, and interspinous ratio. The article integrates normative data and updated measurement thresholds from recent literature, emphasizing their age-related variability and diagnostic implications. The purpose of this review is to provide pediatric radiologists with a consolidated resource that integrates the latest CT measurements and interpretive guidelines for quick and reliable consultation. By improving awareness of subtle quantitative deviations and anatomical nuances, this review aims to enhance diagnostic accuracy and promote early recognition of potentially unstable craniocervical injuries in pediatric trauma assessment.
