Gender-Specific Patterns in Nonsyndromic Cleft Lip and/or Palate: A Four-Year Retrospective Study From Telangana, India.

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
Cleft lip and/or palate (CL/P) is a common congenital condition with known gender differences, but region-specific data from Telangana are limited. This hospital-based retrospective cross-sectional study evaluated 665 (n=665) patients treated between 2020 and 2024 to analyze gender distribution across cleft types. Clefts were categorized as cleft lip (CL), cleft palate (CP), and cleft lip with palate (CLP), and statistical analysis included the chi-square test, odds ratio (OR), and Z-test. CLP was the most common presentation (n=393, 59.10%), followed by CL (n=234, 35.19%) and CP (n=38, 5.71%). A clear gender pattern was observed, with males more frequently affected in CLP (n=233, 35.03%) and CL (n=126, 18.95%), while CP was more common in females (n=23, 3.45%). The association between gender and cleft type was statistically significant (χ² = 6.37, df = 2, p = 0.041). Males were more likely to present with CLP compared to CP (OR = 2.23; 95% CI: 1.13-4.41), which was further supported by the Z-test (p = 0.018). Overall, a significant gender disparity was observed in cleft distribution in Telangana, highlighting the need for gender-sensitive screening and management strategies.
