Simulation of Velopharyngeal Biomechanics Identifies Differences in Sphincter Pharyngoplasty Outcomes: A Matched Case-Control Study.
Article in The Cleft palate-craniofacial journal : official publication of the American Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Association, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
The purpose of this study was to develop a framework for 3D subject-specific computational models capable of simulating velopharyngeal biomechanics for anatomic changes that occur following pharyngoplasty and to gain insight into biomechanical factors that may lead to different speech/surgical outcomes. Patient-specific models for two, matched participants with differing speech/surgical outcomes were developed: one with a successful pharyngoplasty outcome and one with a failed pharyngoplasty outcome. Surgical scenarios were simulated to model pharyngoplasty location, identify LVP muscle biomechanics, and identify an optimal pharyngoplasty location for each participant. These simulations illustrate the potential for optimizing pharyngoplasties based on patient-specific geometry.
