Bilateral Coronal Synostosis and Mega Cisterna Magna: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Craniosynostosis is often associated with raised intracranial pressure (ICP), especially when multiple sutures are involved. In this report, we discuss an unusual association in a patient with craniosynostosis. We report a case of a two-year-old Caucasian male with bilateral coronal synostosis (BCS) who was found to have a concomitant mega cisterna magna (MCM). Although counterintuitive, even in the presence of craniosynostosis, patients with this finding can also have intracranial CSF fluid collections such as the MCM reported here. We hope this report will enhance our understanding of some similar cases that are equivocal regarding raised ICP.
