Clinical significance of measuring the lateral atlantodental interval in children with tic disorders.
Article in Frontiers in neurology, 2025. 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
Background: The pathophysiology and causation of tic disorders (TD) remain unclear. Clinically, children with TD with head and neck tics, trunk tics, often showing associated spinal abnormalities, may be closely related to the atlantoaxial joint. The purpose of this research is to assess the level of lateral atlantodental interval (LADI) in children with TD and to explore the correlation between TD and the asymmetry of bilateral LADI. Methods: The variance in the bilateral lateral atlantodental interval (VBLADI) level was investigated in a retrospective analysis of 80 children with TD between July 2021 and December 2024. Meanwhile, examining the correlation between tic symptoms and VBLADI levels based on VBLADI ≤ 2 mm and >2 mm for grouping. Results: The mean VBLADI among children with TD was 1.32 mm (range: 0.62-2.19 mm). A robust and statistically significant association was identified between head shaking and VBLADI >2.2 mm, even after adjusting for potential confounders and correcting for multiple comparisons [adjusted odds ratio (aOR) = 12.64; FDR Conclusions: Asymmetry in the bilateral LADI is associated with TD symptoms, particularly head shaking. Nonetheless, VBLADI levels do not correlate with the overall severity of TD.
