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

objectiveThe purposes of this study were to determine the midpalatal suture (MPS) opening depth and to assess its relation with the zygomaticomaxillary suture (ZMS) by age with using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). MATERIALS AND

methodsIn this cross-sectional study, 167 CBCT scans of patients aged 7-25 years (mean age: 16.04 ± 5.17 years) were selected based on predefined criteria and categorized into four age groups. The mean percentages of the depth of MPS opening at anterior, middle, and posterior regions in the coronal and closure status of ZMS in axial views were determined by a maxillofacial radiologist.

resultsThe mean percentages of MPS opening depth at anterior, middle, and posterior regions were 98.20%, 89.27%, and 71.44%, respectively. In these regions, 20-25-year age group showed a significant difference compared with first- and second-age groups. A significant difference was observed in the frequencies of complete MPS opening in different age groups in the middle (

conclusionPercentage of opening depth of this suture decreased by age. MPS closure starts from the posterior region. ZMS in younger people is usually open on both sides; however, it can be closed on one or both sides by age. An association was observed between bilateral closure or opening of ZMS and mean percentage of MPS opening in the middle and posterior regions.
