Pediatric Cranial Vault Lesions: A Tailored Approach According to Bony Involvement.
Article in Children (Basel, Switzerland), 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
backgroundCranial vault lesions are common in children, with dermoid and epidermoid cysts being the most frequent. Management is debated due to their slow growth, but early resection can prevent complications and provide a definitive histological diagnosis, which is sometimes linked to systemic diseases.
methodsA retrospective study of children treated surgically for cranial vault tumors from January 2011 to April 2023 was conducted. The data collected included age, gender, symptoms, comorbidities, lesion location, radiological features, surgical techniques, histopathology, and recurrence rates.
resultsEighty-eight children (mean age: 3.5 years, mean tumor size: 1.21 cm) underwent surgery. The most common locations were the frontal and occipital bones. The main diagnoses were dermoid cysts, myofibroma, and Langerhans cell histiocytosis. Gross total resection was achieved in 64 cases with simple skin incisions. In 13 cases, small cranioplasties with bone cement were used. Craniotomy and cranioplasty with autologous bone grafting were performed for 11 patients with lesions larger than 2 cm and full skull thickness erosion.
conclusionsEarly resection is recommended for complete removal with minimally invasive surgery and to ensure histological diagnosis. For lesions larger than 2 cm with full skull erosion, cranioplasty with autologous bone is the preferred technique.
