Speech Outcomes in 5-Year-Olds Born With Cleft Palate With and Without Robin Sequence-A Swedish Registry Study.
Article in The Cleft palate-craniofacial journal : official publication of the American Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Association, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 compare speech outcomes in 4 groups of 5-year-olds with cleft of the hard and soft palate: with Robin sequence without additional conditions (RS-), with Robin sequence with additional conditions (RS+), without Robin sequence with additional conditions (CP+), and without Robin sequence without additional conditions (CP-).DesignRegistry-based cohort study.SettingRegional public care university hospitals in Sweden.ParticipantsA total of 433 children with cleft of the hard and soft palate: 72 with RS-, 28 with RS+, 61 with CP+, and 272 with CP-.InterventionsPrimary cleft palate repair in 1 or 2 stages.Main outcome measuresDichotomized outcomes of percentage of consonants correct, percentage of nonoral speech errors, and velopharyngeal competence. Logistic regression was used for statistical analysis.ResultsChildren with RS+ had significantly lower odds of age-appropriate consonant production (OR 0.17, 95% CI 0.08-0.40), no nonoral speech errors (OR 0.17, 95% CI 0.07-0.39), and velopharyngeal competence (OR 0.24, 95% CI 0.10-0.56) than those with CP-. Significantly lower odds of age-appropriate consonant production were found for children with RS- (OR 0.50, 95% CI 0.29-0.88) and CP+ (OR 0.45, 95% CI 0.24-0.84) than children with CP-.ConclusionsBoth Robin sequence and additional conditions were associated with decreased odds of age-appropriate consonant production at 5 years of age. For children with RS+, the odds were further reduced, and they also had decreased odds of no nonoral speech errors and of velopharyngeal competence. The results can form the basis for informing parents and planning intervention.
