Pre-surgical Nasal Molding of a Two-Day-Old Neonate With Complete Unilateral Cleft Lip and Palate Using Passive Nasoalveolar Molding Technique: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2024. 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
The occurrence of congenital deformities like cleft lip and palate is not uncommon and is often a traumatizing experience for families. The entire rehabilitation process includes frequent hospital visits and the brunt of numerous procedures. Early intervention with pre-surgical infant orthopedics facilitates better surgical outcomes and additional psychosocial benefits to the infant's family. The present clinical report addresses the pre-surgical management of a non-syndromic two-day-old female baby whose parents presented with the chief complaint of deformed lips, nose, and difficulty while feeding. The neonate had a complete left-sided cleft lip, alveolus, and cleft palate on examination. Early management with pre-surgical passive nasoalveolar molding (PNAM) has favorable outcomes, including desired upper lip, alveolus, and nose shape. Non-invasive pre-surgical intervention with PNAM reduces the severity of the deformities before the primary surgical repair, thus decreasing the overall cost of cleft care and the number of secondary revisions, thus increasing the probability of favorable outcomes.
