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

Craniosynostosis (CS) can develop in the fetal period, but it is difficult to diagnose prenatally. In this case, a 3-month-old female baby developed extensive subgaleal hematoma and severe anemia after vacuum-assisted delivery. Her computed tomography showed bilateral lambdoid and sagittal synostosis (BLSS) with a depressed fracture of the right parietal bone. She was referred to our hospital for treatment of the CS. At 4 months of age, she underwent bilateral lambda and sagittal suturectomy and foramen magnum decompression. CS may result in trauma at delivery, because CS disturbs fetal head molding during delivery and disrupts passage through the birth canal. In particular, the risk of severe peripartum trauma is thought to increase in cases of CS with multiple suture fusions, such as those observed in BLSS, due to the strong inhibition of this process of passage through the birth canal. Therefore, if the delivery is abnormally prolonged or if the infant has a massive subgaleal hematoma, it is important to perform evaluations for CS after birth.
