Soft Tissue Changes after Maxillary Advancement in Patients with Cleft Lip and Palate.
Article in Journal of oral & maxillofacial research. 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
Objectives: The purpose of this retrospective observational study was to analyse the soft tissue response in patients with cleft lip and palate undergoing maxillary advancement and its correlation with hard tissue changes. Material and Methods: A cephalometric analysis and comparison of pre- and postoperative lateral cephalometric radiographs was performed using Dolphin Imaging software (Dolphin Imaging & Management Solutions). A total of 261 lateral cephalometric radiographs (preoperative, immediate postoperative and 6 months postoperative) from 87 patients with cleft lip and palate who underwent maxillary advancement (Le Fort I osteotomy) were analysed. Maxillary advancement was measured and patients were categorized by advancement magnitude. Statistical analysis involved comparison of soft tissue changes across different advancement groups. Results: Overall, significant increases were observed in overjet, overbite, upper lip length, and facial harmony, while nose size decreased. The highest soft/hard tissue ratios were observed with advancements ≤ 5.0 mm. Soft tissue changes were minimal for advancements ≤ 5.0 mm but more pronounced for larger advancements. No significant correlation was found between cephalometric variables and maxillary advancement. Conclusions: Maxillary advancement significantly influences soft tissue changes in patients with cleft lip and palate. Smaller advancements result in minimal soft tissue changes, while larger advancements impact lip thickness and incisor exposure.
