1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 goals of operative treatment for unilateral coronal synostosis (UCS) are to improve appearance and allow unrestricted brain growth. However, for severe unilateral premature closure of the coronal suture, existing methods do not address the compression of the brain or expand the volume of the skull cavity. We report our retrospective experience with bilateral fronto-orbital advancement combined with cranial vault release using a free-floating bone flap (CVR + FFBF) technique and the resulting changes in the anterior cranial vault asymmetry index (ACVAI) and intracranial volume. Methods: Twenty patients with UCS who underwent bilateral fronto-orbital advancement combined with CVR + FFBF technique from April 2014 to May 2019 were included. Surgical efficacy was evaluated by the ACVAI and intracranial volume before the operation, 1 week after the operation, and at the last follow-up (average 19.8 months; range, 12 to 40 months). The measurement data are presented as the mean ± standard deviation and were statistically analyzed by Results: The ACVAI was 9.07%±3.55% before the operation, 3.56%±3.42% 1 week after the operation, and 3.13%±2.41% at the last follow-up. The ACVAI 1 week after the operation was significantly lower than that before the operation ( Conclusions: For the treatment of UCS, bilateral fronto-orbital advancement combined with CVR + FFBF technique offers functional and cosmetic outcomes in terms of intracranial volume expansion and fronto-orbital symmetry.
