Management of Velopharyngeal Insufficiency in Cleft Patients With and Without Multidisciplinary Team Care.
Article in The Cleft palate-craniofacial journal : official publication of the American Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Association, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveTo evaluate the effect of an American Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Association (ACPA)-approved multidisciplinary team on velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI) diagnosis and treatment.
designRetrospective cohort setting; tertiary children's hospital patients; children with cleft palate repair identified through procedure codes.
main outcome measuresVelopharyngeal insufficiency diagnosis was assigned based on surgeon or team assessment. Age at diagnosis and surgery was recorded. Difference in age and rate of VPI diagnosis and surgery was analyzed with
resultsNine hundred forty patients were included with 71.5% cared for by an ACPA-approved multidisciplinary team. More (38.8% ) team care patients were found to have a diagnosis of VPI in comparison to 10% in independent care ( DISCUSSION: Team care was associated with more accurate detection of VPI, resulting in more VPI speech therapy visits and surgical management. A higher number of team visits were similarly associated.
conclusionFurther studies of the clinical implication of timely and accurate VPI diagnosis, including quality of life assessments, are recommended to provide stronger guidance on team visit and evaluation planning.
