Evaluation of condylar cortical bone thickness in patient groups with different vertical facial dimensions using cone-beam computed tomography.
Article in Odontology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 32 papers.
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
The aim of this study is to evaluate through computed tomography differences in cortical plate thickness of condyle in patients with a different facial vertical skeletal pattern. The final sample of this retrospective study included CBCT exams of 60 adult subjects (mean age 33.2 ± 5.6), selected from the digital archive of a private practice. The subjects were assigned to 3 different groups according to the values of the Frankfurt-mandibular plane angle: hyper-, normo-, and hypodivergent groups. The volume rendering of the mandible was obtained and three condylar points were marked on it: median pole, lateral pole and the most cranial point. For each considered reference point, the minimum distance between external and internal cortical surface was measured, obtaining three different outcomes: condylar cortical bone thickness of median pole (CCBToMP), lateral pole (CCBToLP) and cranial pole (CCBToCP). The measurements were executed by means of Mimics software by the same expert operator in specific scan views. The cortical bone thickness of hyperdivergent patients was found to be statistically thicker than normodivergent patients and hypodivergent patients. Cortical bone thickness of normodivergent patients was found thicker than hypodivergent patients. All the differences were statistically significant (p < 0.05). The Pearson correlation coefficient showed a statistically significant correlation (p < 0.001) between the Frankfurt-mandibular plane angle and the evaluated cortical bone thickness outcomes. Facial biotype characteristics that define vertical facial skeletal pattern affect the cortical bone thickness of mandibular condyle.
