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

This study aims to evaluate the relationship between mandibular developmental abnormalities and swallowing function in children with Pierre Robin Sequence (PRS). Swallowing function was assessed by a Modified Kubota Drinking Test (MKDT). Pre- and postoperative CT scans of PRS patients who underwent Mandibular Distraction Osteogenesis (MDO) were analyzed through three-dimensional (3D) digital reconstruction technology. Mandibular and airway evaluation parameters were measured, including the distance between bilateral mandibular angular, the length of bilateral mandibular ramus, mandibular notch angle (α), mandibular angle (β), mandibular body angle (γ), and the lateral and longitudinal dimensions of the posterior lingual airway. Results showed that the length of the bilateral mandibular rami and posterior lingual airway dimensions were significantly reduced postoperatively compared to controls (
