Bone Transport Distraction Osteogenesis in the Reconstruction of Pediatric Posttraumatic Calvarial Defects.
Article in Plastic and reconstructive surgery. Global open, 2019. 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
Reconstruction of posttraumatic calvarial bone defects in pediatric patients is a challenge due to the growing brain and limited autogenous bone supply. Traditional techniques such as split calvarial and particulate bone grafts are associated with prolonged operative time and significant blood loss, which is a major concern in children under the age of 3 years. Bone transport distraction osteogenesis has proven efficacy and safety in the reconstruction of other craniofacial deformities. This procedure is less invasive and requires shorter operative times and hospital stay. We report our experience with 2 cases of bone transport distraction osteogenesis for the reconstruction of large posttraumatic calvarial defects in pediatric patients.
