It's Time to Define the Global Burden of Velopharyngeal Insufficiency.
Article in The Cleft palate-craniofacial journal : official publication of the American Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Association, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI) predominantly affects children with cleft palate, undermining their ability to communicate. As a result, intelligible speech generation is one of the most important outcomes following cleft palate repair. In low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), the elevated incidence of cleft palate, unavailability of speech services, and suboptimal surgical outcomes has contributed to a substantial yet poorly defined global burden of VPI. Tracking speech outcomes in LMICs is essential to assessing VPI severity and identifying patients needing care. Artificial intelligence and machine learning are well-suited to accommodate this goal.
