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

ObjectiveTo analyze speech outcomes and cleft shape changes in children diagnosed with Robin sequence (RS) treated with a customized pre-epiglottic baton plate (PEBP).DesignSingle-surgeon retrospective analysis.SettingTertiary care institution.Patients and ParticipantsTwenty-five patients with RS who were treated with PEBP and primary cleft palate repair between 2010 and 2019.InterventionsPostnatal use of a PEBP.Main Outcome MeasuresSpeech assessment at the age of 3.5 to 4.5 years documenting hypernasality, nasal emission, nasal turbulence, voice quality, and consonant production, and analysis of digitally scanned cast models before and after the use of PEBP to quantify changes in cleft shape and width.ResultsThe study cohort (
