Clinical experience and functional outcomes of infants with Pierre Robin sequence treated with the Tübingen palatal plate: a retrospective case series from a multidisciplinary tertiary care setting.

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
purposePierre Robin Sequence (PRS) is characterised by micrognathia, glossoptosis and upper airway obstruction, often necessitating early intervention to ensure airway stability and adequate feeding. This case series highlights the role of the Tübingen Palatal Plate (TPP), a functional approach in the multidisciplinary management of infants with PRS. MATERIAL AND
methodsThis retrospective case series describes seven infants with PRS managed using the TPP within a multidisciplinary tertiary care setting. Clinical outcomes were assessed in terms of airway patency, feeding ability, growth status and caregiver-reported compliance.
resultAll infants demonstrated improvement in airway patency reflected by reduced dependence on adjunct airway support, along with enhanced feeding. Longitudinal assessment using WHO Weight-for-Age Z-scores (WAZ) demonstrated progressive improvement in nutritional status and satisfactory weight gain during follow-up. High caregiver compliance and satisfaction were observed, with no reported complications.
conclusionThis series highlights the feasibility and clinical effectiveness of TPP as a simple, non-invasive intervention and underscores the pivotal role of paediatric dentists in the multidisciplinary management of PRS.
