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

ObjectiveAnterior craniofacial changes in unilateral lambdoid craniosynostosis include forehead bossing, increased orbital heights, and asymmetry of the midface and mandible, creating a facial twist. The purpose of this study is to comprehensively analyze the post-operative anterior craniofacial changes in patients with unilateral lambdoid craniosynostosis following occipital switch cranioplasty.DesignRetrospective review of three-dimensional images collected pre-operatively and post-operatively around 2 years.SettingTertiary care pediatric institution.ParticipantsEighteen patients with unilateral lambdoid craniosynostosis.InterventionsCranial vault remodeling with occipital switch cranioplasty.Main Outcome MeasuresFrontal, occipital, height, midface, ear, and orbital asymmetry. Nasal and chin deviation.ResultsFrontal and occipital asymmetry significantly improved post-operatively (
