Effects of Cranioplasty After Decompressive Craniectomy on Neurological Function and Cerebral Hemodynamics in Traumatic Versus Nontraumatic Brain Injury.
Article in Acta neurochirurgica. Supplement, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
After decompressive craniectomy (DC), cranioplasty (CP) can help to normalize vascular and cerebrospinal fluid circulation besides improving the patient's neurological status. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of CP on cerebral hemodynamics and on cognitive and functional outcomes in patients with and without a traumatic brain injury (TBI). Over a period of 3 years, 51 patients were included in the study: 37 TBI patients and 14 non-TBI patients. The TBI group was younger (28.86 ± 9.71 versus 45.64 ± 9.55 years, P = 0.0001), with a greater proportion of men than the non-TBI group (31 versus 6, P = 0.011). Both groups had improved cognitive outcomes (as assessed by the Mini-Mental State Examination) and functional outcomes (as assessed by the Barthel Index and Modified Rankin Scale) 90 days after CP. In the TBI group, the mean velocity of blood flow in the middle cerebral artery ipsilateral to the cranial defect increased between the time point before CP and 90 days after CP (34.24 ± 11.02 versus 42.14 ± 10.19 cm/s, P = 0.0001). In conclusion, CP improved the neurological status in TBI and non-TBI patients, but an increment in cerebral blood flow velocity after CP occurred only in TBI patients.
