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
ObjectiveIn our study, we aim to assess trends in mandibular distraction osteogenesis (MDO) management and outcomes among infants in a national database between 2012 and 2022.DesignA cross-sectional analysis of the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) pediatric database was conducted from 2012 to 2022.SettingNot applicable.Patients, ParticipantsChildren under the age of 1 undergoing MDO.InterventionsSpecific interventions were not recorded due to the nature of the study.Main Outcome Measure(s)Trends in the number of MDO procedures performed by otolaryngology-head and neck surgeons (OHNS) and complication rates.ResultsWe identified 232 cases of MDO procedures for patients under the age of 1 year, of which 28.9% (N = 67) underwent surgery with OHNS. The proportion of MDO performed by OHNS over the study period did not exhibit a significant change in univariate Pearson correlation analysis (R = 0.426,
