Arterial and neural relations at the posterior and lateral aspects of the medullo-spinal junction.
Article in Surgical and radiologic anatomy : SRA, 1998. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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 authors report the results of a series of 59 microdissections of the region of the foramen magnum. These dissections were made under the strict conditions of a surgical approach using an operating microscope. The major anatomic structures of the medullo-spinal junction are arranged mainly at its lateral aspect. The customary surgical approaches to the posterior cranial fossa give ready access to the cerebello- and latero-medullary cisterns. The description of the neurovascular structures contained therein assumes a particular importance because of the relative frequency of lesions developing at this level. This study deals particularly with the vertebral a. (VA), the inferior posterior cerebellar a. (IPCA), the cranial nn. IX (glossopharyngeal n.), X (vagus n.), XIc and XIs (cranial and spinal accessory n.) and XII (hypoglossal n.). The anatomy of this posterior and lateral region is characterised by the contrast between the relatively uniform course of the VA and the variable course of the IPCA, a true guideline whose very irregular arrangement accounts for the diversity of its relations with the last four cranial nn.
