Presurgical orthodontic treatment with ultraearly application of premaxilla-guiding nasoalveolar molding in feeding neonates: A case series.
Article in JADA foundational science, 2025. 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
Background: The objective of this study was to present 3 cases of bilateral cleft lip and palate in which early application of premaxilla-guiding nasoalveolar molding (PG-NAM) achieved proper premaxillary alignment, columella, and upper lip lengthening by 2 months of age. Methods: Patients with bilateral cleft lip and palate were referred shortly after birth for intraoral scanning, which enables the creation of a 3-dimensional-printed jaw model. Using the jaw model, the Hotz plate was designed as a feeding plate. One week after birth, a nasal stent was applied to the Hotz plate. Once the stent was in place, 2 elastic lip tapes were used to prevent premaxillary collapse. Results: In all 3 cases, premaxillary alignment was completed within 1 through 2 months of appliance placement, and nasal septal curvature was observed after posterior premaxillary movement; however, at the time of palatoplasty, the nasal septum was straightened in all cases. Conclusions: These findings suggest ultraearly application of PG-NAM achieves appropriate premaxillary alignment, columella, and upper lip lengthening by 2 months of age, allowing for smooth surgical interventions.
