Does Palatoplasty Technique Impact Resolution of Eustachian Tube Dysfunction?
Article in The Cleft palate-craniofacial journal : official publication of the American Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Association, 2025. 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
ObjectiveTo determine whether palatoplasty technique affects the resolution of eustachian tube dysfunction and postoperative speech outcomes in children with cleft palate (CP).DesignRetrospective cohort.SettingMultidisciplinary cleft and craniofacial clinic at a tertiary care center.PatientsSeventy-three patients with nonsyndromic CP who underwent palatoplasty between 2005 and 2019. Inclusion criteria included soft palate repair with Furlow technique or intravelar veloplasty (IVV) and Veau classifications I-III.InterventionsEither Furlow or IVV repair was performed based on the surgeon's clinical judgment. All patients had bilateral ear tubes placed prior to or at the time of palate repair, with postpalatoplasty ear tubes placed at the ENT surgeon's discretion. Patients received routine follow-up care for over 5 years. Data were analyzed with Wilcoxon tests, χ
