A 10-Year Review of the Efficacy of Cranial Remolding Orthosis Treatment and Factors That Influence Outcomes for Infants with Isolated Deformational Plagiocephaly.
Article in Children (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesThe purpose of this study was to examine the overall efficacy and treatment outcomes of CROs in the treatment of isolated deformational plagiocephaly and investigate the variables that influence treatment efficacy.
methodsThis was a 10-year retrospective review of N = 27, 990 infants with Isolated Deformational Plagiocephaly (IDP) who completed Cranial Remolding Orthosis (CRO) treatment between 3 and 18 months of age.
resultsThere was a significant overall mean change in CVAI(S) of -3.42 ± 0.011 (
conclusionsCROs are an effective, research-supported treatment for IDP. Pediatric health care providers and parents should be aware of the efficacy of CRO therapy across age groups and severity ratings, the risk factors that may influence CRO outcomes, and the benefits of an early referral at a young age.
