Biparietal remodelling and total vault remodelling in scaphocephaly-a comparative study using 3d stereophotogrammetry.

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
purposeThe aim of the study was to compare the results of two surgical techniques for the treatment of isolated sagittal synostosis (ISS) by means of 3D stereophotogrammetry. One technique, the Renier's "H" technique (RHT) comprised a biparietal expansion, the other, the total vault remodeling (TVR) included also a frontal remodeling.
methodsThe two groups of operated children were compared with a third control group of normocephalic children. The 3D scanning was performed in all children between 12 and 245 months of age. On each 3D image six measurements and indices have been made, with the aim of evaluating not only length and width of the head, but also the height. The cranial index (CI) was measured in a plane parallel to the nasion-tragus plane, at the intersection with the opisthocranion.
resultsEach of the three groups (RHT, TVR, control group) included 28 children. The measurements that were influenced by the correction of the frontal bossing, namely the CI and the sagittal length, were closer to normocephaly after TVR than after RHT. Lesser or no statistical difference was documented in the measurements evaluating the biparietal aspect and the height of the vertex, indicating that the biparietal expansion is effective in both procedures.
conclusionBased on our results TVR results in a better esthetical outcome, particularly in relation to the direct surgical remodeling of the frontal bossing.
