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
ObjectiveTo establish correlations between skeletal jaw relationship measured on lateral cephalograms and Goslon Yardstick scores for dental arch relationship (DAR) on orthodontic study models for unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP).DesignRetrospective review of consecutive cases.SettingMultidisciplinary cleft and craniofacial clinics at two tertiary care centers in the Western Cape, South Africa.PatientsForty-nine consecutive patients with nonsyndromic UCLP before they received orthodontic treatment and secondary alveolar bone graft (SABG).InterventionsFourteen cephalometric angles measured by two observers and Goslon Yardstick scores determined by three observers. Inter- and intraobserver reliability determined using Cohen's Weighted Kappa statistic.Main Outcome MeasuresAge, gender, and side of cleft were recorded. Cephalometric measurements and Goslon scores compared with regression analysis to determine correlations between angle ANB (cephalometric angle indicating anteroposterior relationship between the maxilla and mandible) and Goslon scores.ResultsMean age 10.7 years; 22 males and 27 females. Thirty-four (69.4%) of the clefts were left-sided. Kappa statistics ranged from good to very good for inter- and intraobserver reliability for cephalometric measurements and Goslon scores. No statistically significant differences between genders for cephalometric measurements and Goslon scores (
