QEEG findings in nonsyndromic sagittal craniosynostosis.
Article in Scientific reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Despite the undertaken treatment, children with nonsyndromic sagittal craniosynostosis (NSC) are burdened with problems with speech development, visuospatial and other cognitive deficits. The electroencephalographic assessment has not influenced the diagnostics and treatment strategy of craniosynostosis so far but the introduction of quantitative EEG (QEEG) protocols renewed an interest in the functional aspect of this disease. In this study we retrospectively assessed the QEEG records of 25 children with NSC aged 1-18 months (mean age 9.62 months) before and after surgery. In each case, the amplitude, interhemispheric (ICoh) and intrahemispheric (HCoh) coherence indices were calculated. Obtained data were compared to age-matched control group of 25 normocephalic children. Children with NSC presented significantly lower values of amplitudes and intrahemispheric coherence in occipital, posterior parietal and posterior temporal regions than normocephalic children. The values of amplitudes, ICoh and HCoh in pre- and postoperative QEEG records mostly remained unchanged, with a slight improvement in HCoh in centro-parietal area. These findings suggest that NSC children present their own QEEG profile. The operative treatment improves an intrahemispheric connectivity, but there still exists a significant difference in the occipitotemporal, frontotemporal and centro-frontal areas, which may be considered as a functional substrate of reported speech and neurocognitive problems. QEEG findings in nonsyndromic sagittal craniosynostosis.
