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
Purpose: This study compared nasal septum deviation (NSD), nasal deformities, and anterior nasal spine deviation (ANSD) and evaluated their relationships in patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP), bilateral cleft lip and palate (BCLP), and no cleft, using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Materials and Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted in 98 individuals (43 with UCLP, 33 with BCLP, and 22 non-cleft individuals; aged 8-36 years). CBCT measurements of NSD, nasal morphology, and ANSD were obtained. Group differences and correlations among NSD, nasal deformities, and ANSD were analyzed using 1-way analysis of variance, paired Results: NSD was highly prevalent, affecting approximately 97% of patients with cleft lip and palate and 86% of non-cleft individuals. Cleft type was significantly related to the severity and shape classification of NSD; UCLP was associated with greater severity than BCLP, which was linked to greater severity than in non-cleft individuals. Conversely, age and sex displayed no significant relationships with NSD occurrence. Patients with UCLP exhibited the most pronounced nasal asymmetry and significantly greater ANSD, with deviation toward the non-cleft side consistently observed. In patients with BCLP, NSD and ANSD demonstrated a moderate to substantial positive correlation ( Conclusion: Patients with BCLP exhibit a comparatively symmetrical nasal appearance; however, the nasolabial area remains affected. Both NSD and ANSD contribute substantially to nasal deformities in patients with cleft lip and palate, particularly those with UCLP.
