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

ObjectivePrior work has identified numerous barriers to standardized outcome measurement in cleft care. The objective of this study was to evaluate a multifaceted implementation strategy to collect standardized outcomes for children with cleft lip and/or palate (CL/P).DesignA one-armed, single-site pilot study of a multifaceted implementation strategy.SettingA metropolitan children's hospital.PatientsFive-year-old children with CL/P.InterventionsA multifaceted implementation strategy for standardized outcome measurement.Main Outcomes MeasuresThe primary outcome measure was penetration of the intervention, defined as the proportion of children for whom the standardized measures of aesthetic, dental, and speech outcomes were collected. Penetration pre-implementation and 12 months post-implementation were compared. The secondary outcome was acceptability of standardized outcome measurement among providers and staff, evaluated with the Acceptability of Intervention Measure.ResultsThe implementation strategy resulted in high penetration of standardized outcome measurement: measurement of aesthetic outcomes increased from 7% to 82% (
