Evaluation of mallear ligaments in different voxel resolutions using cone beam computed tomography.

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
objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the visibility of discomallear ligament and anterior mallear ligament together with anatomical morphometric measurements of petrotympanic fissure, and to determine whether the mallear ligaments correlate with the bone compartment changes of temporomandibular joint.
methods: Cone beam CT images of 275 patients were evaluated retrospectively. The visibility of discomallear and anterior mallear ligaments were evaluated by two observers. The petrotympanic fissure was classified into four groups. Morphologic features of petrotympanic fissure and mandibular fossa were also measured in sagittal, axial and three-dimensional cone beam CT reconstructed images. Pearson's χ
results: Type 3 petrotympanic fissure was more frequent in male, whereas females showed Type 1 and Type 2 petrotympanic fissure structures (p < 0.05). Anterior mallear ligament visibility on cone beam CT images was statistically higher in bone compartment changes of temporomandibular joint. In cone beam CT images, petrotympanic fissure tunnel types 1, 2, 3 and 4 were seen in 11.5, 35.63, 51.34 and 1.53% of patients, respectively.
conclusions: Knowledge of the anatomy may help in identifying temporomandibular joint pain and auditory symptoms due to temporomandibular disorder. Further cross-sectional studies with larger populations are needed to investigate the physiopathological relation of both disorders.
