Age at Initial Cleft Lip Repair Among Children in Al Madinah Region.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundCleft lip and palate consists of a wide spectrum of anomalies affecting the oral cavity and lips and can have enduring adverse effects on health. The age at which surgical interventions are done is crucial as it can influence the outcomes. This study aimed to determine the age at which initial cleft lip repairs were performed and the proportion of individuals who underwent additional surgeries to address post-repair complications.
methodsA cross-sectional study involving 120 participants was conducted. Data was collected by distributing an online questionnaire to parents of children who had undergone initial cleft lip repair in the Al Madinah region.
resultsThe study found that the average age for the initial cleft lip repair in Medina is 0.46 ± 0.27 years. Post-repair complications were observed, including hearing loss in 10.9% of children, heavy breathing issues in 32.8%, an imbalance in facial expression in 47.9%, and swallowing problems in 3.4% of children even after surgery. Approximately 40% of parents sought further procedures to mitigate complications.
conclusionThe study indicated that the first cleft lip repair in Medina typically occurs during the first year of life. However, more extensive research is needed to assess the efficacy of procedures within the city. Further studies should be conducted to provide a more comprehensive understanding of these conditions and the outcomes of their treatments.
