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
objectivesThe aim of this study is to evaluate the relative efficacy of the mandibular trabecular bone in detecting osteoporotic-associated bone changes in Brazilian women. MATERIALS AND
methodsSeventy-three digital panoramic radiographs of healthy and osteoporotic postmenopausal women were used. Regions of interest were selected in the mandibular angle and body of the panoramic images, which were analyzed for fractal dimension (FD) and pixel intensity (PI). Statistical analysis evaluated the distribution pattern, compared normal with osteoporotic patients and the right with the left mandible, and assessed the relationship between FD and PI. The significance level was set at 0.05.
resultsFD and PI values were significantly different (p < 0.05) between normal and osteoporotic patients for the right and left mandibular angle and for the left mandibular body. There was no significant difference (p > 0.05) between the right and left mandibular angle for FD and PI, but a significant difference (p < 0.05) was observed on the mandibular body for PI values. FD and PI values presented positive correlation.
conclusionsThe mandibular trabecular bone was effective in detecting osteoporotic changes, with the exception of the right mandibular body. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Mandibular trabecular bone shows a promising attempt of accurate detection of osteoporotic changes in some regions of the jaws. Fractal analysis and pixel intensity had strong positive correlation.
