Outcomes of the early endoscopic-assisted suturectomy for treatment of multisuture craniosynostosis.

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
To present the outcomes and adverse events associated with the endoscopic-assisted, minimally invasive suturectomy in patients with multisuture synostosis. This retrospective cohort study included children < 65 days of age who underwent endoscopic-assisted suturectomy (EAS) for multisuture craniosynostosis at a single tertiary referral center from 2013 to 2021. The primary outcome was calvarial expansion, and the secondary outcome was adverse events. The pre- and post-operative 3-dimensional brain computed tomography (CT) scan was used to calculate the intracranial volume and cephalic index. During a period of 2 years, 10 infants (10-64 days) diagnosed with multisuture synostosis underwent single-stage EAS of every affected suture in our center. The coronal suture was the most prevalent involved suture among our cases. The mean age and weight of the patients were 39 ± 17.5 days and 4.39 ± 0.8 kg, respectively. The surgical procedure took 42 ± 17.4 min of time and caused 46 ± 25.4 mL of bleeding on average. Ninety percent of the operations were considered successful (n = 9) regarding calvarial expansion. There were two complications, one requiring an open vault surgery and one repairing a leptomeningeal cyst. In the eight patients who did not necessitate further interventions, the mean pre-operative intracranial volume was 643.3 ± 189.4 cm
