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

Tessier no. 7 clefts are characterized by macrostomia, facial muscular diastasis and maxillary and zygomatic bone abnormalities. It is caused by a lack of ectomesenchyme formation or penetration of the maxillary and mandibular processes during the fourth and fifth weeks of development. A case of bilateral transverse facial cleft with an accessory maxilla and an osseous choristoma is presented. The diagnosis of accessory maxilla was based on clinical findings due to the inaccessibility of orthopantomography and computed tomography scan. Orbicularis oris muscle reconstruction, cheiloplasty and excision of accessory maxilla were done. Histopathological examination of the bony lesion showed an osseous choristoma. There were no postoperative complications or local recurrence of the lesion excised. This case report demonstrates the importance of early diagnosis and intervention in maxillofacial congenital anomalies. Cheiloplasty restores function and gives the patient a natural appearance. The excision of accessory bone prevents further complications in the child's growth.
