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 main purpose of this study was to determine the accuracy of cone beam CT (CBCT) in measuring the trabecular bone microstructure, in comparison with micro-CT. The subobjective was to examine to what extent bone quality assessment is influenced by X-ray tube current and voltage settings as well as soft tissue surrounding the bone.
methodsEight human mandibular bone samples were scanned using three different clinical exposure protocol within water (W1-3) and without water (NW1-3) by a high-resolution (80 µm) CBCT machine (3D Accuitomo 170(®); Morita, Kyoto, Japan). Subsequently, the samples underwent micro-CT scanning (SkyScan 1174®; SkyScan, Antwerp, Belgium). After image acquisition, similar volumes of interest of the trabecular structures captured with CBCT and micro-CT were aligned with each other. Segmentation was then performed, and the morphometric parameters were quantified within the volumes of interest by CTAn software (CTAnalyser(®); SkyScan, Antwerp, Belgium). Descriptive statistical analyses and multiple comparisons between all protocols were applied in R software.
resultsHigh positive Pearson's correlation coefficients were observed between CBCT and micro-CT protocols for all tested morphometric indices except for trabecular thickness. No significant differences were observed between all exposure protocols except for trabecular separation. When examining the soft-tissue effect on trabecular bone structures, no significant differences between NW (1-3) and W (1-3) protocols were observed for all variables.
conclusionsThe present study demonstrated the potential of high-resolution CBCT imaging for in vivo applications of quantitative bone morphometry and bone quality assessment. However, the overestimation of morphometric parameters and acquisition settings in CBCT must be taken into account.
