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

Encephaloceles are the type of dysraphism in which a skull defect allows for herniation of meninges, with or without the inclusion of neural tissue, and are commonly associated with agenesis of the corpus callosum. Encephaloceles are classified as frontal, occipital, or parietal, with parietal cephaloceles, or vertex cephaloceles (VC), being the least common. Despite this, VCs present as the most common cause of a midline scalp mass, displaying complex venous and neural malformations commonly referred to as the "tip of the iceberg." Atretic parietal encephaloceles (APC), a type of VC, are benign lesions arising from meningeal and vestigial tissue which have undergone fibrotic degeneration. As a result, prognosis will generally be better than other encephaloceles due to vestigial tissue involvement. Here, we report a neonate presenting with APC, corpus callosum agenesis, and a cingulate gyrus lesion, along with a sinus pericranii companion case for comparison.
