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
purposeThe study aimed to see changes in the topography, prevalence, and diameter of the parietal emissary foramen (PEF) in children with advancing age.
methodsThe 360 normal pediatric subjects aged 1-18 years, who underwent cranial computed tomography scans were included in the study. The diameter of PEF (PEFD), if present, was measured. Distances from PEF to sagittal (PEF-SS), lambdoid (PEF-LS), and coronal (PEF-CS) sutures were measured.
resultsOf 360 children, 269 subjects had PEF (74.7%) and three had multiple PEFs (0.8%). Bilateral, unilateral right-side, and unilateral left-side PEF incidences were determined as 44.2%, 20.3% and 10.3%, respectively. PEFD was determined to be 3.16 ± 1.02 mm, and it remained unchanged after the early childhood period. PEFD > 5 mm was identified in six children (1.7%). PEF-SS, PEF-LS, and PEF-CS were measured as 5.44 ± 2.74 mm, 35.50 ± 6.44 mm, and 81.90 ± 7.33 mm, respectively. According to age groups, PEF-LS and PEF-CS did not change after the early childhood period. PEF-SS did not correlate with pediatric age groups. Linear function was calculated as y = 2.531 + 0.065 × age for PEFD, and y = 76.918 + 0.515 × age for PEF-CS.
conclusionsApproximately three in four children have a PEF. Its diameter remains unchanged after the early childhood period. A pediatric PEF is located approximately 5 mm lateral to the sagittal suture, 35 mm anterior to the lambdoid suture, and 80 mm posterior to the coronal sutures.
