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: FD is relatively rare in the craniofacial region, accounting for only 20% of all cases. Currently, two general subtypes of FD are recognized: monostotic and polyostotic. The monostotic form is more frequent, accounting for 75% to 80% of fibrous dysplasia cases. Case Description: An 18-year-old male presented with the complaint of bony-hard swelling over the forehead for 8 years. Radiology showed an expansile osseous lesion involving frontal bones. The patient underwent bi-frontal craniectomy with gross total resection of tumour mass with titanium mesh cranioplasty. His postoperative period was uneventful and was discharged on the seventh postoperative day. Conclusion: The cases of monostotic skull fibrous dysplasia should be treated by resection of the affected bone and cranioplasty. However, a more conservative re-contouring may be carried out in cases with multifocal involvement or when the excision is considered risky due to proximity to the major venous sinuses.
