Clinical Outcomes of Myelomeningocele Defect Closure: 10-year Experience from a Single Center.
Article in Journal of plastic and reconstructive surgery, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Myelomeningocele is the most common congenital abnormality of the central nervous system. We present our experience and review the postoperative outcomes and complications by conducting a retrospective observational study. Medical records of 48 patients who underwent surgical closure of myelomeningocele from September 2013 to December 2023 were reviewed and analyzed. Overall, 28 cases were closed with direct skin repair, while 20 cases required local skin flaps. Five cases of wound dehiscence, 6 cases of cerebrospinal fluid leak, 2 cases of surgical site infection, and 1 case of flap tip necrosis occurred. Management of myelomeningoceles requires a multidisciplinary approach. Most myelomeningocele defects can be closed primarily. However, other methods can be utilized if necessary. Complications are difficult to avoid but outcomes can be optimized if the necessary steps are deployed.
