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

BACKGROUND The proximity between the maxillary sinus and dental roots may impede orthodontic tooth movement. This study aimed to explore the relationship between the maxillary sinus wall (MSW) and maxillary canines and posterior teeth using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). MATERIAL AND METHODS CBCT images (317) were examined for whether the mesial, distal, buccal, and palatal surfaces of the examined root contacted the MSW, and the contact distance of each root surface with the MSW was measured. The effects of age and sex were analyzed using logistic regression and linear regression analyses. RESULTS The highest contact ratios with the MSW (ranging from 62.0% to 73.2%) were observed at the palatal root surfaces of the first molar mesiobuccal and distobuccal roots (1M MB and DB), the buccal root surface of the first molar palatal roots (1M P), and the mesial and buccal root surfaces of the second molars (2M), followed by the distal root surface of the second premolars (2PM) and the mesial root surfaces of the 1M MB and P (ranging from 49.2% to 59.3%). At these root surfaces, the contact ratios decreased with age (P<0.05), but the lowest still reached a range of 29.4% to 57.9% in the 30- to 47-year-old group. CONCLUSIONS The 2PM distal root surface, the 1M MB mesial and palatal root surfaces, the 1M DB palatal root surface, and the 1M P and 2M mesial and buccal root surfaces most frequently contacted the MSW. Clinicians should observe the contact of root surfaces with the MSW, even in aged patients.
