Repair of Occipital Bone Defects in Neurofibromatosis Type 1 by Means of CAD/CAM Prefabricated Titanium Plates.
Article in Craniomaxillofacial trauma & reconstruction, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Certain skeletal defects may develop in neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), a common tumor-suppressor syndrome, such as cranial lesions confined to the lambdoid suture region. Here, we report on the repair of osseous defects of occipital bone in a NF1 patient with history of skull trauma and tumorous hemorrhage. Computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM)-assisted devices were applied to safely close the bone defects. The variable phenotype of NF1 in the occipital skull region is discussed and a brief review is presented on NF1-related therapies for tumors and malformations of the occipitoparietal skull region.
