A new classification proposal for sphenoid sinus pneumatization: a retrospective radio-anatomic study.
Article in Oral radiology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
objectivesThe sphenoid sinus variations are very diverse and the frequency of these sinus variations is high. During operations involving the sphenoid sinus, such as pituitary surgeries, the surgeon should have detailed information about these variations. The aim of this study is to reclassify the sphenoid sinus pneumatizations in detail and to evaluate the incidence of pneumatization types in a Turkish population according to this classification.
methodsNew classification proposal was made. In accordance with the proposed new classification, sphenoid sinus pneumatizations were evaluated on CBCT images.
resultsWhen the posteroanterior pneumatization of 128 patients was evaluated; 2.3% conchal, 3.9% presellar, 35.9% sellar, and 57.8% postsellar pneumatization was detected. Of these cases, 28.9% had anterior pneumatization on the right and 23.4% on the left. When lateral direction pneumatizations were evaluated, lateral body type was found to be the most common on both right (44.1%) and left (42.5%) sides.
conclusionIn this study, sphenoid sinus pneumatizations were evaluated three-dimensionally with the help of CBCT, and a new classification suggestion was made to eliminate the classification confusion we encountered in our previous studies. Pneumatizations and variations can affect the field of operation and even change planning. It should be taken into account that the paranasal sinuses may have variations due to their surgical importance and their close association with many vital structures.
