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

This study aimed to measure temporomandibular joint (TMJ) with 3-dimensional (3D) reconstruction technique in Chinese northeast population, and to clarify the region for fixation and to provide morphological basis for the application of TMJ prosthesis in Chinese setting.Computed tomography (CT) scan and 3D reconstruction were performed with 132 individuals. Structural markers and measurements were further performed with a 3D model of the total TMJ, including the width, thickness and angle of zygomatic arch, the width and height of articular fossa, as well as the area, width, thickness and angle of mandible in the fixation region of the TMJ prosthesis. All the measured indicators values were compared between bilateral sides and gender groups.There was no statistical difference in the measured indicators between the left side and the right side (P > .05). However, certain parameters, including S, L5, L7, P4, and P5, were significantly different among males and females (P < .05).In this study, 3D CT image was used to obtain the measurement data of TMJ, which provided data support for the clinical application of TMJ prosthesis in Chinese population.
