The Effect of Cranioplasty on Cerebrospinal Fluid Dynamics in the Cerebral Aqueduct.
Article in Journal of Korean Neurosurgical Society, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveThis study investigated the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) dynamic changes before and after cranioplasty using phase-contrast cine magnetic resonance imaging.
methodsWe performed a prospective observational study in the patients who underwent cranioplasty in the neurosurgical department of our hospital between June 2022 and March 2025. We reviewed the changes of CSF flow parameters in the cerebral aqueduct before and after cranioplasty.
resultsTotally, nine patients were enrolled, including five males and four females, with a mean age of 48.1 years. The time interval between decompressive craniectomy (DC) and cranioplasty was 119.1±45.1 days. The skull defect diameter and area were 10.7±2.2 cm and 94.4±34.6 cm2, respectively. There are significant increases in forward flow volume (p=0.002), backward flow volume (p=0.002), net stroke volume (p=0.012), absolute stroke volume (p=0.001), mean flux (p=0.005), mean velocity (p=0.001), and peak velocity (p<0.001) after cranioplasty when compared with those parameters before cranioplasty. No significant correlation was observed between patient characteristics and the improvement magnitude of CSF flow parameters caused by cranioplasty.
conclusionThis study indicates that cranioplasty may have beneficial effects on CSF flow dynamics in the cerebral aqueduct after DC, which provides therapeutic potentials for complications related to CSF flow stagnancy after DC.
