Split Calvarial Grafting for Closure of Large Cranial Defects: The Ideal Option?
Article in Journal of maxillofacial and oral surgery, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05311124 (Direct Application of Integra Bilayer Matrices on Bare Calvarium Without Preliminary Burring), which is not on this map. Cited by 5 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.

Abstract
Among the various cranioplasty options for reconstruction of large post-craniectomy defects, split calvarial grafting offers numerous significant advantages such as the provision of viable autogenous bone graft material comprising of living, immunocompatible bony cells that integrate fully with the skull bone bordering the cranial defect. Its potential for revascularization and subsequent integration and consolidation allows its successful use even in previously infected or otherwise compromised recipient sites. Its excellent contour match at the recipient site and low cost as compared to various alloplastic implant materials often makes it preferable to the latter. Surgeon's skill, dexterity, expertise and experience are important factors to be considered in this highly technique-sensitive procedure.
