Evaluating compliance with postoperative cranial remolding orthotic treatment in infants with single suture craniosynostosis: A comparative study of objective and subjective approaches.

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
Background: Historically, daily hours of wearing a cranial remolding orthosis (CRO) was not objectively assessed, and the compliance to the treatment plan was evaluated subjectively through questionnaires in previous studies. Objective: To assess objective monitoring of the postoperative CRO in infants with single suture craniosynostosis. Study design: Prospective comparative study. Methods: Data collection regarding the number of hours that the CRO was worn was obtained from data recorded from the Orthotimer sensor and data recorded from the participants' parents. Results: A total of 21 individuals (11 boys and 10 girls) participated in the study. Among these 21 participants, 9 had scaphocephaly (sagittal craniosynostosis), 9 had trigonocephaly (metopic craniosynostosis), and 3 had unilateral coronal deformity (coronal craniosynostosis). A significant difference was observed in adherence to the CRO treatment between the objective and subjective methods (p<0.05). Accordingly, the compliance based on parental reports (subjective method) was significantly higher than the data recorded objectively (p<0.05). Conclusion: It was found that parents tend to report higher estimates regarding the use and compliance of the CRO. Therefore, for a more accurate assessment of the hours spent wearing the CRO, the objective method is the preferred choice.
