Cosmetic satisfaction and patient-reported outcome measures following cranioplasty after craniectomy - A prospective cohort study.
Article in Brain & spine, 2023. 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
Introduction: Evaluating patient-reported outcomes (PROMs) helps optimize preoperative counseling and psychosocial care for patients who underwent cranioplasty. Research question: This study aimed to evaluate cosmetic satisfaction, level of self-esteem, and fear of negative evaluation (FNE) of patients who underwent cranioplasty. Material and methods: Patients who underwent cranioplasty from 1 January 2014 to 31 December 2020 at University Medical Center Utrecht and a control group consisting of our center' employees were invited to fill out the Craniofacial Surgery Outcomes Questionnaire (CSO-Q), consisting of an assessment of cosmetic satisfaction, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES), and the FNE scale. To test for differences in results, chi-square tests and T-tests were performed. Logistic regression was used to study the effect of cranioplasty-related variables on cosmetic satisfaction. Results: Cosmetic satisfaction was seen in 44/80 patients (55.0%) and 52/70 controls (74.3%) (p = 0.247). Thirteen patients (16.3%) and 8 controls (11.4%) had high self-esteem (p = 0.362), 51 patients (63.8%) and 59 controls (84.3%) had normal self-esteem (p = 0.114), and 7 patients (8.8%) and 3 controls (4.3%) had low self-esteem (p = 0.337). Forty-nine patients (61.3%) and 39 controls (55.7%) had low FNE (p = 0.012), 8 patients (10.0%) and 18 controls (25.7%) had average FNE (p = 0.095), and 6 patients (7.5%) and 13 controls (18.6%) had high FNE (p = 0.215). Cosmetic satisfaction was associated with glass fiber-reinforced composite implants (OR 8.20, p-value = 0.04). Discussion and conclusion: This study prospectively evaluated PROMs following cranioplasty, for which we found favorable results.
