High Spinal Cord Injury After a Minor Fall in a 23-Month-Old Girl With Atlantoaxial Instability Associated With Morquio Type A: A Case Report.
Article in Case reports in surgery, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Case: A 23-month-old girl with Morquio A syndrome (mucopolysaccharidosis IVA [MPS IVA]) scheduled for atlantoaxial stabilization surgery sustained a cervical spinal cord injury with tetraplegic symptoms following a low-energy fall. Computed tomography (CT) images showed forward translation of C1 over C2 and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed upper cervical spinal cord injury. An urgent decompression and spinal fusion from C0 to C2 were performed. Postoperative recovery showed significant neurological improvement and at 1-year follow-up, the patient was symptom-free. Conclusion: This case highlights the risk of severe cervical spinal cord injury following minor trauma in patients with MPS IVA-associated cervical instability and demonstrates the potential for neurological recovery after prompt surgical decompression and stabilization.
