Surgical Treatment for Scaphocephaly Using a Modified Melbourne Technique in Mexico: An Illustrative Case and Literature Review.
Article in Cureus, 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
Craniosynostosis is the premature fusion of one or more skull vault sutures, most commonly the sagittal sutures, leading to a long, narrow head shape known as scaphocephaly. Surgery is recommended to create space for brain growth to treat scaphocephaly. Delayed treatment may require more complex surgery to achieve the desired head shape. The Melbourne method of total calvarial vault reconstruction allows for significant head shape change without requiring postoperative helmet therapy. This single-stage technique involves complex skull reshaping to move the vertex successfully from front to back by reconstructing both the anterior and posterior parts of the cranium. We present the case of an eight-month-old boy diagnosed with nonsyndromic scaphocephaly, characterized by an elongated head with a prominent sagittal ridge due to secondary sagittal synostosis. Subtotal cranial vault reconstruction was performed with good postoperative results.
