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

Unilateral cleft lip and palate is a complex craniofacial deformity involving disruption of the lip, alveolus, maxilla and nasal framework. Presurgical nasoalveolar molding (NAM) has emerged as an important adjunctive modality. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate the effectiveness of presurgical nasoalveolar molding in infants with unilateral cleft lip and palate. 20 non-syndromic infants with unilateral cleft lip and palate underwent presurgical NAM therapy prior to primary lip repair. Presurgical nasoalveolar molding is an effective, non-invasive adjunct in the management of unilateral cleft lip and palate. Early initiation of NAM significantly optimizes presurgical anatomy.
