The Influence of Age and Sex on the Height of Velopharyngeal Closure.
Article in Journal of speech, language, and hearing research : JSLHR, 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
purposeThe purpose of this study was to compare the height of velopharyngeal (VP) closure in relation to the palatal plane between individuals with velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI) with or without cleft palate and individuals without cleft palate and with normal speech, considering the effects of age and sex.
methodMagnetic resonance imaging was used to analyze the height of VP closure in the midsagittal view during phonation of /i/ and /s/ sounds among 105 individuals with VPI and 45 individuals without cleft palate and normal speech.
resultsIndependent-samples
conclusionsThe results revealed the variations of the height of VP closure in relation to the palatal plane. These findings provide insights into the presurgical planning for individuals with VPI undergoing palatal surgeries, especially the location of pharyngeal flap insertion.
