Incorporating Velopharyngeal MRI into the Clinical Decision-Making Process for a Patient Presenting with Velopharyngeal Dysfunction Following a Failed Palatoplasty.
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 8 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
This clinical report describes the implementation of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to evaluate a patient with long-standing velopharyngeal dysfunction. She was referred to the craniofacial clinic at age 10 with no prior surgical history and subsequently completed a Furlow palatoplasty due to a suspected submucous cleft palate. However, results were unfavorable with minimal improvement in speech or resonance. The clinical presentation, treatment, outcomes, and contributions from MRI for secondary surgical planning are described. Addition of MRI into the clinical workflow provided insights into the anatomy and physiology of the velopharyngeal mechanism that were unable to be obtained from nasendoscopy and speech evaluation alone.
