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

Craniosynostosis associated with Chiari malformation (CM) is usually found in infants with an underdeveloped posterior fossa. We here present a case of adult craniosynostosis, CM, and symptomatic syringomyelia caused by the protrusion of the posterior rim of the foramen magnum without a tight posterior fossa. A 22-year-old woman with an abnormal head shape and forearm hypesthesia was given a diagnosis of sagittal suture synostosis with CM and syringomyelia caused by foramen magnum stenosis. She underwent foramen magnum decompression with a C1 laminectomy without cranial vault expansion or duraplasty. Her symptoms and radiographical findings improved after surgery. In cases of non-operative craniosynostosis with CM, clinicians should be alert to late-onset syringomyelia and choose surgical strategies according to the pathophysiology.
