Review in Child's nervous system : ChNS : official journal of the International Society for Pediatric Neurosurgery, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundNon syndromic craniosynostoses are the most frequent craniofacial malformations worldwide. They represent a wide and heterogeneous group of entities, in which the dysmorphism may occur in a single (simple forms) or in multiple sutures (complex forms). Simple forms present a higher birth prevalence and are classified according to the involved suture and to the corresponding abnormal cranial shape: scaphocephaly (SC; sagittal suture), trigonocephaly (TC; metopic suture), anterior plagiocephaly (unilateral coronal suture), posterior plagiocephaly (unilateral lambdoid suture). They occur commonly as sporadic forms, although a familiar recurrence is sometimes observed, suggesting a mendelian inheritance. The genetic causes of simple craniosynostosis are still largely unknown, as mutations in common craniosynostosis-associated genes and structural chromosomal aberrations have been rarely found in these cases.

aimsThis review is intended to dissect comprehensively the state-of-the art on the genetic etiology of single suture craniosynostoses, in the attempt to categorize all known disease-associated genes and chromosomal aberrations. Possible genotype/phenotype correlations are discussed as useful clues towards the definition of optimized clinical management flowcharts.
