Middle Eastern Rhinoplasty: Relationship of the Nasal Spine and Caudal Septum to Tip Projection and Columellar-Labial Angle.

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
objectiveTo measure the anterior nasal spine length (ANSL) and septal caudal extension (SCE), as well as assess the strength of association between these variables and tip projection in the Middle Eastern nose. Our secondary aim was to assess if columellar-labial angle (CLA) or columellar-spinal angle (CSA) vary as a function of ANSL and/or SCE. STUDY DESIGN/
settingProspective single institutional study. SUBJECTS: Middle Eastern primary rhinoplasty patients without nasal trauma or prior endonasal surgical history.
methodsPhotographic and intraoperative caliper measurements were used to determine Goode ratio (GR), CLA, CSA, ANSL, and SCE. Associations between numeric variables were examined with scatterplots, including use of LOWESS curves and Pearson correlation coefficients. Linear regression models were used for predicting quantitative variables (GR, CLA, CSA). Logistic regression models were used for predicting overprojection status based on GR.
resultsIn total, 102 patients met inclusion criteria (82 females, 20 males). Mean ANSL and SCE were 8.6 mm and 14.9 mm, respectively; ANSL and SCE had a strong positive association with each other. SCE and ANSL were found to have low predictability for GR, CLA, or CSA.
conclusionDeterminations of projection status using the GR method do not appear to be related to ANSL or SCE values in our Middle Eastern study group. Relationships of absolute columellar-labial or columellar-spinal angles are likely more complex than isolated value implications of SCE or ANSL.
