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
objectivesTo evaluate and compare the transverse dental arch relationship of patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) versus the noncleft controls in Northeastern region of Thailand. MATERIALS AND
methodsA cross-sectional study involving 80 participants comprising 40 nonsyndromic children with UCLP and 40 healthy noncleft children of similar age (mean age: 11 years). The study was conducted at the Faculty of Dentistry, Khon Kaen University, Thailand. Each participant underwent assessments for Angle's classification, overjet, overbite, and transverse dental arch width, along with the evaluation of the modified Huddart/Bodenham (MHB) index using three-dimensional digital dental casts. Comparisons between groups were performed using paired sample
resultsThe sample was categorized into two groups: the early mixed dentition group (ages 7-10 years) and the late mixed dentition group (ages 11-14 years). In the antero-posterior plane, individuals with UCLP and those without cleft presented with class II Angle's classification. In the transverse plane, the maxillary transverse arch width was notably narrower in UCLP cases compared with noncleft cases, with more pronounced differences observed in the late mixed dentition group. However, there was no statistically significant difference in mandibular transverse width between the two groups. The mean MHB index scores were -9.35 in the early mixed dentition group and -12.63 in the late mixed dentition group, indicating a more severe score in the latter. When compared with the noncleft control group, both UCLP groups showed significantly lower MHB index scores.
conclusionIn comparison to noncleft individuals, the majority of UCLP cases exhibited class II angles with negative overjet. A significantly smaller transverse arch width was observed in the maxilla of UCLP patients, with no significant variances noted in the mandible. Analysis using the MHB index indicated greater total arch constriction in UCLP cases, particularly in the anterior tooth region. Furthermore, the severity of these findings was observed to escalate with age.
