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

ObjectiveTo compare outcomes of cranial vault remodeling via fronto-orbital advancement and remodeling (FOAR) versus spring cranioplasty in patients with nonsyndromic unicoronal craniosynostosis (UCS), focusing on surgical parameters and craniofacial symmetry improvements.DesignRetrospective review comparing FOAR and spring-assisted cranioplasty outcomes using preoperative and postoperative CT data. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS Statistics 30.0.SettingInstitutional tertiary care center specializing in craniofacial surgery.Patients, ParticipantsNonsyndromic patients with UCS undergoing FOAR (
