Three-dimensional Changes in Maxillary Alveolar Morphology with Modified Nasoalveolar Moulding in Vietnamese Unilateral Cleft Lip and Palate Patients - A Prospective Study.
Article in Annals of maxillofacial surgery. 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
Introduction: This study aims to evaluate the three-dimensional (3D) changes in maxillary alveolar morphology following the application of modified nasoalveolar moulding (NAM) in Vietnamese patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP). Materials and Methods: A cohort of UCLP patients undergoing modified NAM treatment was assessed using 3D imaging techniques to quantify alterations in maxillary alveolar morphology. Pre-treatment and post-treatment images were analysed to measure changes in alveolar width, height and overall morphology. Results: The findings indicate significant improvements in maxillary alveolar dimensions post-NAM application, with notable increases in both the width and height of the alveolar ridge. These morphological changes are crucial for optimising surgical outcomes and enhancing the functional and aesthetic aspects of cleft lip and palate repair. Discussion: Modified NAM positively affects the maxillary alveolar morphology in Vietnamese UCLP patients, highlighting the importance of early cleft care intervention and paving the way for future research on NAM's long-term benefits.
