How I do it-the posterior question mark incision for decompressive hemicraniectomy.
Article in Acta neurochirurgica, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundDecompressive hemicraniectomy (DHC) is a lifesaving procedure which every neurosurgeon should master early on. As indications for the procedure are growing, the number of patients eventually requiring skull reconstruction via cranioplasty also increases. The posterior question mark incision is a straightforward alternative to the classic trauma-flap and can easily be adopted. Some particularities exist one should consider beforehand and are discussed here in detail.
methodsSurgical steps, aids, and pitfalls are comprehensively discussed to prepare surgeons who wish to gain experience with this type of incision.
conclusionDue to the lower complication rate after cranioplasty, the posterior question mark incision has superseded the traditional pre-auricular starting anterior question mark incisions, in our department for the performance of decompressive hemicraniectomies.
