Are Children with Cleft Palate at Increased Risk for Laryngeal Pathology?
Observational study in The Cleft palate-craniofacial journal : official publication of the American Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Association, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
To determine the prevalence of laryngeal pathology in children presenting with cleft palate with or without cleft lip (CP ± L) who underwent nasoendoscopy to assess palatal function. A secondary aim was to determine the relationship between patient demographics, resonance, articulation, and prevalence of laryngeal pathology in this population. Retrospective, observational cohort study. Outpatient pediatric cranio-facial anomalies clinic. Children ≤18 years of age presenting with CP ± L (N = 215) who underwent nasoendoscopy, speech language pathology, plastic surgery, and otolaryngological evaluations between 2009 and 2020. Laryngeal diagnosis by pediatric otolaryngologists. 21.9% of children presented with laryngeal pathology. Diagnoses included benign vocal fold lesions and laryngeal edema sufficiently severe to alter vocal fold edge contour. Likelihood of laryngeal pathology increased by approximately 12% with every increase of 1 year in age ( This population is at increased risk for laryngeal pathologies as determined by nasoendoscopy. This finding underscores the importance of careful laryngeal imaging in assessing these children. Additional research is warranted to identify the mechanisms underlying the increased risk for morphological vocal fold changes.
