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

backgroundCongenital palate perforation is extremely rare. There is controversy about its exact etiology and appropriate management. Here, a case of congenital palatal perforation is reported. The diagnosis and treatment of the disease are summarized. CASE SUMMARY: A full-term neonate boy was referred for oral and craniomaxillofacial surgery with a finding of a hole in the palate at birth. The operation was postponed after pediatric consultation because of the patient's poor nutrition and underweight for his age. At the age of 10 mo, the patient underwent modified von Langenbeck palatoplasty. He was followed for four years after surgery without any signs of re-rupture. His speech was satisfactory.

conclusionConsidering the anatomy and etiology, congenital palate perforation can be classified as isolated or associated with submucous cleft palate, and the treatment procedure should be altered accordingly.
