Cranial capacity measurement for modern Chinese adults based on 3D reconstruction.
Article in Neurosciences (Riyadh, Saudi Arabia), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectivesTo determine the average modern adult cranial capacity in China, and assess the gender differences and trends in order to establish normal reference values and provide theoretical basis for individualized treatment in clinical practice.
methodsWe conducted a cross-sectional study between January 2019 to June 2020. Thin-slice (0.9 mm) CT scans of 309 males and 238 females from China were obtained, and classified into the 18-32, 33-47, 48-62, 63-77 and 78-92 years age groups. Three-dimensional reconstruction was performed using mimics software to obtain the cranial capacity for statistical analysis.
resultsThe average cranial capacity of men was 1497.12±120.70 cm3 and that of women was 1326.24±95.72 cm3. The average cranial capacity of men was larger than that of women in all age groups. In addition, cranial capacity across the different age groups showed significant differences among both men and women.
conclusionThe average cranial capacity of modern Chinese male is larger that of females, and both sexes show a tendency to an increase in the intracranial volume over the past few decades. Our findings provide important data for establishing normal reference values for cranial capacity of modern Chinese adults and theoretical basis for individualized treatment of certain cranial diseases with increased intracranial pressure.
