Unusual Bilateral Oblique Craniofacial Cleft with Atypical Cleft of Palate: A Case Report with 3 Years of Follow-Up.
Article in Indian journal of plastic surgery : official publication of the Association of Plastic Surgeons of India, 2026. 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
Oblique facial clefts are a rare entity and can be associated with palatal anomalies like synechiae caused by amniotic bands. Their treatment is individualized following sound reconstructive surgical principles. This is a case report of a 15-month-old child with cleft palate in which the right palatal shelf was represented by a tongue-like projection, associated with macrostomia and bilateral medial and lateral oro-ocular clefts. The palatal cleft was closed in two stages and the oblique clefts in the first stage. At 4 years of age, the velopharyngeal incompetence was addressed by a superiorly based pharyngeal flap. The macrostomia was corrected by a sliding V-Y flap, which effectively lengthened the buccal mucosa and ensured oral competence.
