Determination of Novel, Cranium-Based Relationships for Construct Placement in Microtia Reconstruction for Hemifacial Microsomia Patients.

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
objectiveDetermine if the ideal location of the construct in microtia reconstruction for hemifacial microsomia (HFM) can be more accurately derived from measurements on the cranium.
designHigh-resolution computerized tomography (CT) images were analyzed through craniometric linear relationships.
settingOur tertiary care institution from 2000 to 2021. PATIENTS/
participantsPatients diagnosed with HFM and microtia, who had high-resolution craniofacial CT scans, yielding 36 patients accounting for 44 CT scans. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): First, the integrity of the posterior cranial vault among HFM patients was determined. If proven to be unaffected, it could be used as a reference in the placement of the construct. Second, the position of the ear in relation to the cranium was assessed in healthy age-matched controls. Third, if proven to be useful, the concordance of these cranium-based relationships could be validated among our HFM cohort.
resultsThe posterior cranial vault is unaffected in HFM (
conclusionsRelationships between the tragus and the cranium may be used as an alternative to distorted facial anatomy or surgeon's experience to assist in pre-operative planning of construct placement in microtia reconstruction for HFM patients.
