Prevalence of Treatment of Early Childhood Caries among Children with Cleft Lip and/or Cleft Palate in Manitoba.
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 3 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
objectiveTo determine the prevalence of treatment of early childhood caries (ECC) using general anesthesia (GA) in children with cleft lip and/or palate (CL/P).
designRetrospective chart review of children followed by the Manitoba Cleft Lip and Palate Program (MCLPP) to determine the frequency of treatment for ECC under GA.
settingChildren's Hospital, Winnipeg, Canada (a tertiary care centre). PATIENTS: Children registered with MCLPP between January 1, 2008- December 31, 2019.
interventionsThe chart review collected data on the following variables: sex, date of birth, postal code, type of cleft, whether child had treatment of ECC using GA, age at the time of GA, and cost of treatment.
main outcome measuresAssociation of CL/P with ECC.
resultsOverall, 441 children had CL/P. 17% had isolated cleft lip (CL), 46% had isolated cleft palate (CP), and 37% had both cleft lip and palate (CLP). Overall, 24.3% of children with CL/P underwent dental surgery using GA while 14.5% underwent dental surgery to treat ECC between 12-59 months of age. When compared to a reference of Canadian healthy children 12-59 months of age, a child with CL/P was 15 times more likely to require GA to treat ECC.
conclusionTreatment for caries under GA in children with CL/P is common. In the children with CL/P the rates of GA for treatment of ECC are significantly higher when compared to the general population. Children with CL/P require comprehensive oral health prevention to reduce the risk for caries and the need for treatment under GA.
