Article in World journal of plastic surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Cleft lip in infants is associated with severe morphological and functional disorders. Cleft lip is particularly important, which can lead to psychological changes in the patient if the treatment result is not satisfactory. Different surgical methods have been developed in the past decades. We aimed to investigating cleft lip techniques and surgical outcome in patients. Methods: In this cross-sectional analytical study, 32 patients undergoing cleft lip surgery referred to Abuzar Children's Hospital in Ahvaz, southern Iran between 2022 and 2023 were enrolled. According to the surgeon's opinion, the patients underwent cleft lip surgery using the Sommerlad technique. (n=18 or Millard technique (n=14). Surgical Ooutcomes were compared between the two groups. Results: The mean age was 33.58±59.14 months. 65.6% of patients were boys (n=21). The need for rhinoplasty in the Sommerlad and Millard groups was 100% and 84.6%, respectively, and no significant difference was observed between the two groups (P=0.17). The cupids bow was estimated to be good in 28.6% and 38.9% of patients in the Millard and Sommerlad groups, respectively, while this difference between the two groups was not significant (P=0.51). There was no significant difference between the two groups in the vermilion border (P=0.31). No significant difference was observed between the two groups in terms of white roll match, lip length and Scar appearance (P>0.05). Conclusion: No significant difference was observed in the results of lip surgery between the Sommerlad and Millard techniques. Further multicenter studies with larger sample sizes are recommended to validate these results.
