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

purposeTo evaluate neurological development of completely healthy children with anterior fontanelle premature closure via Denver Developmental Screening Test II and to compare the results with control group. METHOD AND

resultsThe records of 140 patients applied to Mersin University Pediatric Neurology Outpatient Clinic between 2011 and 2019 with the complaint of premature closure of the anterior fontanelle were retrospectively reviewed. Patients with microcephaly, craniosynostosis, infection, sequelae of hypoxia-ischemia, metabolic disorders, intracranial hemorrhage, epilepsy, endocrine problems, and dysmorphic features were excluded from the study. Sixty-six completely healthy children with anterior fontanelle premature closure were included in the study. Denver Developmental Screening Test II was performed by the same developmental specialist to the children with premature closure of the anterior fontanelle as well as to the healthy control group. For each child included in the case and the control group, 90% of the values for each development area were calculated and recorded. Then, the results were compared. Denver II Developmental Screening Test (p < 0.001) and gross motor subtest (p < 0.001) results showed statistically significant retardation in the case group compared with the control group.

conclusionsThe study was the first study in the literature on the gross motor development of children with premature closure of anterior fontanelle, and it has been found significantly undeveloped compared with the control group, and it has been concluded that similar patients should be evaluated from this view point in pediatric neurology department.
