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

INTRODUCTION/

backgroundDistraction osteogenesis (DO) with an external distraction device such as the rigid external distraction frame has become an established method for treating midface hypoplasia in faciocraniosynostosis. It allows for greater advancement of the midface in comparison with traditional Le Fort III osteotomies, associated or not with fronto-orbital osteotomies (Le Fort IV). However, the forward movement of the bone segments may not always be performed obeying an ideal distraction vector, resulting in asymmetries, anterior open bite, and loosening of screws. In addition, the cost of the distraction devices is significant and may preclude their routine use in developing countries.

methodWe present an alternative device and method for craniofacial advancement in a clinical case of Crouzon's syndrome.

resultsA 3D virtual simulation of the distraction vector and a modified external device were used in the current case.

conclusionThe alternative external device in this case proved to be safe, effective, and reliable.
