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

Lambdoid craniosynostosis is the rarest form among monosutural ones, with a prevalence ranging between 1 and 4% of all craniosynostosis. Open-strip craniectomy used to be the common treatment method; however, a better understanding of the pathology as well as a more careful analysis of outcomes and complications led to a shift towards other techniques such as open cranial vault reconstruction, device-mediated distraction, and endoscopic procedures. The present paper will deal with open surgical options, namely open cranial vault reconstruction (OCVR) and device-assisted procedures (DAP). In particular in the paper the authors will describe the aforementioned techniques focusing on each surgical step (positioning and anesthesia, exposure, bony decompression, reconstruction vs device used, and closure). In addition, the paper will also describe risks and long-term results related to the surgical techniques in question.
