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

Cloverleaf skull deformity or Kleeblattschadel syndrome is a severe condition where multiple cranial sutures are absent and prematurely fused, leading to a trilobate head shape. The remaining open sutures or fontanelles compensate for rapid brain expansion, while the constricted fused calvarium restricts brain growth and results in increased intracranial pressure. Recent data show that early posterior cranial and foramen magnum decompression positively affects infants with cloverleaf skulls. However, long-term sequelae are still rarely discussed. We hereby report a child who developed secondary metopic craniosynostosis after posterior cranial decompression, which required a front-orbital advancement and cranial remodelling as a definitive procedure.
