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

objectivesThe clinical effects and surgical procedures of Hogan posterior pharyngeal flap in the treatment of the older patients with velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI) after cleft palate repair were investigated.

methodsA total of 33 patients (aged 10-35 years; average of 20.4 years) with VPI secondary to cleft palate were included. They underwent Hogan posterior pharyngeal flap to improve velopharyngeal closure function. The clinical efficacy of the ope-ration was evaluated with Chinese speech clarity measurement and nasopharyngeal fiberscope (NPF), and the velopharyngeal closure was graded. The average follow-up time was 13.3 months.

resultsThe wounds of all patients were healed by first intention, and speech assessment showed that the consonant articulation increased and the rate of hypernasality and nasal emission decreased significantly (

conclusionsHogan posterior pharyngeal flap for VPI secondary to cleft palate can significantly improve velopharyngeal closure.
