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

The treatment of craniosynostosis has evolved significantly over the past few decades. While open calvarial vault reconstruction remains a good treatment option, minimally invasive techniques have been shown to yield excellent results in children treated at a young age. This chapter details the use of endoscopic strip craniectomy with postoperative helmet therapy. This surgical option relies on early release of the fused suture to allow the child's own brain growth, plus use of a cranial molding helmet, to allow for correction of head shape. This chapter details the technique used to correct sagittal, metopic, and unicoronal craniosynostosis. Compared to open surgery, studies have shown that endoscopic surgery has comparable aesthetic outcomes and improved perioperative outcomes, such as blood loss, rate of blood transfusion, and time of surgery. This chapter reviews the techniques, aesthetic outcomes, cognitive outcomes, and advances in our knowledge of the genetics of craniosynostosis.
