Cone-beam CT assessment of implant-related anatomy landmarks of the anterior mandible in a Chinese population.

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
purposeTo investigate the prevalence, location, and morphology of the mandibular lingual foramen (MLF), mandibular incisive canal (MIC), and anterior loop of the inferior alveolar canal (ALC) in a Chinese population using cone-beam CT (CBCT). MATERIALS AND
methodsFrom 2014 to 2016, CBCT images from patients with various scanning purposes were obtained from the database of the Affiliated Stomatology Hospital of Kunming Medical University, China. Imaging analyses of the MLF, MIC, and ALC were performed via the NNT viewer software. The prevalence, location, length, classification of MLF, and its distances to the alveolar crest and the lower border of mandible were investigated, and the prevalence and length of MIC and the prevalence of ALC were also studied.
resultsThis study examined 1008 subjects, 521 (51.7%) males, and 487 (48.3%) females. 916 (90.9%) subjects showed the medial lingual foramina (LF), a single medial LF with the supraspinous-type predominating. Lateral LF were observed in 547 (54.3%) subjects mostly located in the premolar areas. 876 (86.9%) subjects had the MIC on the left side, whereas 877 (87.0%) had the MIC on the right side. The ALC was present in 147 (14.6%) subjects.
conclusionsThis study showed a high prevalence of LF and MIC in the Southwest Chinese population. Therefore, caution should be taken during the implant treatment at the anterior mandible region.
