Temporary Fusionless Occipitocervical Fixation of Bilateral Occipital Condylar Avulsion Fractures in an Adult.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic case reports, 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
Introduction: Occipital condyle fractures (OCFs) are rare injuries presenting with neurologic sequelae that may be debilitating or even fatal. Treatment options for unstable OCFs include fusion or halo placement. Fusion of the occipitocervical junction is associated with a significant loss of motion. Case Report: This study presents a case of bilateral occipital condylar fractures with C1-C2 rotatory subluxation treated with temporary fusionless occipitocervical fixation. Conclusion: This is a rare case of bilateral OCFs with atlantoaxial instability that underwent fusionless instrumentation and subsequent hardware removal. Treatment resulted in excellent radiographic and clinical outcomes regarding pain and motion at the most recent follow-up.
