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
objectivesThis study aimed to compare the impacts of undertaking symmetrical bone repair of the nasal alar base combined with nasolabial deformity repair versus nasolabial deformity repair alone on the improvement in nasal deformity of patients with unilateral cleft lip and alveolar cleft.
methodsFifty patients presenting with unilateral cleft lip and alveolar cleft were evaluated. Among them, 20 underwent nasolabial deformity repair solely (non-bone grafting group), whereas 30 patients received bone repair in conjunction with nasolabial deformity repair (bone-repair group). Preoperative measurements and one-year follow-up results were assessed through photographic anthropometric analysis. According to the Farkas anthropometric standard, the nasal anatomic landmarks were located, and 10 nostril indicators were measured. The operative effects of two groups were compared.
resultsIn contrast to the non-bone-grafting group, the nasal deformity of patients in the bone-repair group demonstrated significant improvement one year post-operation. The symmetry parameters of the nasal columella more closely approximated 1, the columella deviation angle more closely approached 90°, and the sub-alare inclination angle and the inclination angle of the nasal alar were smaller (
conclusionsThe accomplishment of symmetrical bone repair of the nasal alar base is conducive to enhancing nasal deformity after cleft-lip surgery in patients with unilateral cleft lip and alveolar cleft. This strategy has a positive influence on nasal symmetry, the morphology of the nasal alar, and nasal base deformity.
