Orofacial Cleft and Its Association with Consanguineous Marriage and Other Risk Factors: A Case-control Study from a Tertiary Care Hospital in Jammu Province.

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
Background: Orofacial cleft is among the most common craniofacial malformations. It presents a complex and multifactorial etiology that involves genetic and environmental factors. One of the etiological factors is consanguinity (marriage between blood relatives). Multiple environmental risk factors, such as advanced maternal age, parity, maternal smoking, radiation, alcohol consumption, diabetes mellitus, and maternal use of drugs (i.e., anticonvulsants), folic acid deficiency, etc., have also been linked to the development of cleft lip and/or palate (CL/P). There is a dearth of literature reporting the occurrence of cleft due to consanguinity and other risk factors. Aim: The aim of this study is to describe the orofacial cleft demographics and to determine the influence of parental consanguinity and other associated risk factors on the occurrence of orofacial clefts (OFC) at a tertiary healthcare hospital in Jammu Province. Materials and methods: This was a hospital-based case-control study. In the present study, data collection was specifically done regarding demographic features, history of consanguinity, degree of consanguinity, and other associated maternal risk factors in both the cleft and control groups. Result: This study elucidates a significant association between parental consanguinity, degree of consanguinity, and other associated risk factors (i.e., maternal age ≥30 years, birth order ≥3, maternal smoking, alcohol consumption, and lack of folic acid consumption) with the occurrence of OFC. Conclusion: Prevention is better than cure. Awareness programs and appropriate counseling should be conducted to educate the community about the risk factors and the anticipated genetic consequences of consanguinity to prevent the development of cleft anomalies in such populations.
