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

objectivesTo propose a formula for determining reduced mouth opening due to oral and maxillofacial trauma, based on the normal standard of the Brazilian population. MATERIALS AND

methodsFirst, the maximum mouth opening was established, in millimeters, using a digital pachymeter, in patients between 22 and 60 years of age. The opening was measured from the upper to the lower incisor, at maximum amplitude, without pain and overbite. Second, the facial profile type and height were determined. A formula was developed to calculate the percentage of reduced mouth opening based on the normal average.

resultsThe average mouth opening was found to be 51.71 mm in men and 47.94 mm in women, thus establishing a statistically significant difference in mouth opening between sexes. However, there was no statistically significant difference between age and profile type with mouth opening. The following formulas were developed to calculate the reduced mouth opening, based on the averages found, by using RA= [100-(A.1.93)].0.3 for males and RA= [100-(A.2,08)] .0.3 for female patients.

conclusionConsidering that mouth opening tends to be larger in men than in women, valid formulas can be used to determine the correct percentage of reduced mouth opening.
