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

objectivesHistomorphometry is the established gold standard for inspection of trabecular microstructures in biomaterial research. However, microcomputed tomography can provide images from the perspective of various section planes. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of different section planes, which may cause bias in two-dimensional morphometry, on the morphometric values of microcomputed tomography.

methodsA socket preservation technique was performed on the extracted premolar area of 4 beagle dogs. After an 8-week healing period, a total of 16 specimens were obtained and analyzed with conventional histomorphometry and microtomographic morphometry. Using the original images of the histologic specimens for comparison, the most similar tomographic image was selected by trial and error. Then, the section plane was then moved with ±79

resultsThere was a high CCC in the comparison between histomorphometric images and the most similar microtomographic images. However, the CCC value was low in the comparisons with both parallel movement and rotation. Our results demonstrate that the sectioning plane has a significant effect on measurements.

conclusionTwo-dimensional morphometric values for biomaterial research should be interpreted with caution, and the simultaneous use of complementary 3-dimensional tools is recommended.
