Incidental findings in maxillary sinus area on cone-beam-computed-tomographic-scans: A retrospective study with emphasis on gender and ethnicity.
Article in The Saudi dental journal, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
aimThe aim was to assess the presence of incidental-findings (IFs) on cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans of faciomaxillary region with emphasis on gender and ethnicity. MATERIALS AND
methodsA retrospective analysis of incidental findings (IFs) in the maxillary sinus was performed. All CBCT-scans were performed using a Cone Beam 3D imaging system and examined using a software program. These images were taken for treatment planning for dental implant therapy of partially edentulous individuals. Four-hundred CBCT scans were retrospectively evaluated. Data regarding age, gender and ethnicity (Saudi Arabian, Egyptian, Filipino and Pakistani) of the patients was recorded. When P-value were lesser than 0.05, the difference was deemed significant.
resultsFour hundred CBCT-based scans were investigated. The IFs were seen in 30.2%, 32.1%, 35.1% and 34.4% individuals belonging to the Egyptian, Saudi Arabian, Pakistani and Filipino ethnicities, respectively. Mucosal-thickening was more often identified in Saudi-Arabian (P < 0.05), Pakistani (P < 0.05) and Filipino males (P < 0.05) than females in the respective ethnic group. There was no difference in the identification of IFs (mucous retention cysts, opacifications, sinus septa and sinus floor discontinuation) related to the maxillary sinus region among males belonging to the Egyptian, Saudi-Arabian, Filipino and Pakistani ethnic groups. INTERPRETATIONS AND
conclusionThe CBCT-based technology is valuable resource for the identification of IFs.
