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
objectiveFew studies have analysed the outcome of bone grafts in bilateral alveolar clefts and the bone fill with a two-step surgery method. The currently applied three-dimensional method used in this study enables a comprehensive description of the bone fill of bilateral clefts after bone grafting. The study aimed to describe alveolar cleft volume and bone fill after alveolar bone grafting of bilateral alveolar clefts treated with two-step bone grafting, with a comparison between the first and the second bone graft site. A secondary aim was to investigate whether the cleft volume on the non-surgical side changed after contralateral surgery. MATERIALS AND
methodsIn this retrospective study, 60 CBCT scans from 20 patients were included (8 girls and 12 boys) with an age range of 6.5-11.5 years (mean age 8.7). The cleft volume was measured in pre- and post-operative CBCT scans and assessed in ITK-SNAP to calculate the bone fill of the cleft.
resultsAfter bone grafting, 47% of the first bone-grafted cleft was filled with bone, and 33% of the second bone-grafted cleft, without significant difference between them (p = 0.03). The mean preoperative cleft volume was 0.42cm
conclusionAlmost half of the cleft volume was filled with bone after bone grafting. The order of the bone graft side did not influence the bone fill of the cleft.
