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
Purpose: There is a paucity of literature on the incidence and distribution of cleft lip and palate cases in the population of Bihar leading to an unmeasured gap in the status of cleft patients in this part of the country. The present study assessed the pattern of cleft cases in the community reported at the largest cleft center in the state under Rashtriya Bal Swasthya Karyakram (RBSK). Methodology: The study was a questionnaire-based, cross-sectional study conducted over one month at a tertiary care center in Bihar. It included all patients with cleft lip and palate, below the age of 5 years, either isolated or combined, attending the OPD or admitted to the ward in the plastic surgery department. Results: The demographic distribution of cleft lip patients included 16% cleft lip, 6% cleft lip with alveolus, 2% microform, 46% cleft palate, and 30% cleft lip with cleft palate. Bilateral cases contributed to 42% of all cases. Male to female ratio was 3:2 with a ratio of 5:3 in cleft lip, 2:1 in cleft lip with alveolus, 0:1 in microform, 12:11 in cleft palate, and 11:4 in cleft lip with palate patients, respectively. Conclusion: The incidence and distribution of cleft lip and palate were found to be similar to the studies done in other parts of India. Registration of cleft cases under the RBSK project of the central government has led to affordable treatment for poor patients in the state of Bihar.
