Trepanation in archaic human remains - characteristic features and diagnostic difficulties.
Article in Forensic science, medicine, and pathology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Three trepanned skulls originated from a medieval archeological site at St. Pantelejmon Church, located in Serbia, all showing characteristic depressions and perforations of the vault of the skull from trepanning. Trepanation refers to the process of creating a defect in the skull by drilling, cutting or scraping and is one of the oldest known surgical procedures. Anthropological assessment of possible cases of trepanation in archaic material is complicated by a differential diagnosis that includes both congenital/developmental lesions such as parietal fenestrae, and acquired conditions such as trauma, infection and malignancy.
