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

ObjectiveTo identify predictors of speech-correcting surgery after primary palatoplasty in patients with cleft palate with or without cleft lip (CP ± L) and to develop pre- and postoperative prediction models.DesignRetrospective cohort study.SettingWilhelmina Children's Hospital, Utrecht, the Netherlands.Patients, ParticipantsA total of 239 patients with CP ± L who underwent primary palatoplasty between 2008 and 2017 and completed standardized speech assessment at age 5.InterventionsStraight-line palatoplasty with intravelar veloplasty (Sommerlad) within the first year of life.Main Outcome Measure(s)Likelihood of speech-correcting surgery after primary palatoplasty. Potential predictors included cleft type, cleft width, age at palatoplasty, associated syndromes, and postoperative complications such as palatal dehiscence and oronasal fistula. Logistic regression models were developed using pre- and postoperative variables. Model performance was assessed by AUROC, calibration, Brier score, and
