Sinking skin syndrome in a decompressive craniectomy series: Clinical and radiological features.
Article in Surgical neurology international, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Background: The sinking skin syndrome (SSS) is a particular complication after a decompressive craniectomy (DC). It still remains a poorly understood and underestimated entity. Methods: Retrospective case series of craniectomized patients with and without SSS. Clinical and radiological features (DC diameter, shape of craniectomy flap, and midline deviation) were described and relative volumes of intracranial loss were quantified. Results: Twenty-seven patients (63% with SSS). The most common indication for DC was traumatic brain injury: 48.15%. The p50 diameter of DC was 12.8 cm for patients with SSS and 11.1 cm for patients without (Z score = 0.32). DC area was 81.5 cm Conclusion: In our series, low 3
