1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

ObjectiveEvaluate feasibility of a study to measure emergent language and pre-speech skills in infants with and without oral cleft. Functioning was assessed in relation to nighttime oxygenation and neural structure.DesignObservational, case/control study.SettingData was obtained at two clinical settings (University of Iowa and University of Pittsburgh Children's Hospital).ParticipantsTwenty infants with and without oral cleft were enrolled and evaluated at 2 months of age. Seven additional infants the same age with a subset of measures from an earlier study were also included. The combined sample included 27 participants: 5 with cleft lip only (iCL), 8 with cleft lip and palate (iCLP), and 14 unaffected (UA).Main Outcome MeasuresParent ratings of general functioning and emergent language (Bayley-4 SEABQ), acoustic measures of vocalizations, overnight pulse oximetry, and structural Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans.ResultsSuccess rates for measures were high for emergent language and vocal acoustics (100% and 89%, respectively) and moderate for oximetry and MRI scans (63% and 70%, respectively). Participants with iCLP had the lowest outcomes for emergent language and vocal acoustics, as well as the highest number of desaturations and lowest myelin intensity.ConclusionsThe results of this study
