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

Congenital midline sinus of the upper lip is rarest malformation with or without other anomalies. Mostly the sinus opens below the white role on the vermilion and has no intra-oral communication. To date, there have been only several case reports of upper lip sinuses associated with other anomalies, such as cleft palate or transverse facial cleft in China. We herein present a case of congenital upper lip sinus in the middle of the philtrum presenting as whitish discharge used to come out of it and review the current literature on this condition.
