Early cleft lip repair in an infant with cleft lip-palate and ipsilateral microtia identified through a community outreach program.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 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
Cleft lip and palate are common craniofacial anomalies that may affect feeding, speech, and hearing. When associated with external ear malformations such as microtia, careful evaluation for auditory impairment and possible syndromic conditions is required. We report a 3-month-old male infant with a left complete unilateral cleft lip and palate and ipsilateral Weerda grade II microtia who underwent early cleft lip repair through an outreach cleft care program. The patient presented with feeding difficulty but no additional craniofacial or systemic anomalies. Surgical repair using a rotation-advancement technique was performed. This case highlights the importance of early recognition and referral through community networks to enable timely surgical management of craniofacial anomalies in resource-limited settings.
