Characteristics of the Maxillofacial Morphology in Patients with Idiopathic Mandibular Condylar Resorption.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2022. 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
Idiopathic mandibular condylar resorption (ICR) is a pathological condition characterized by idiopathic resorption of the mandibular condyle, resulting in a decrease in the size and height of the mandibular condyle. The purpose of this study was to characterize the maxillofacial morphology of ICR patients. Subjects were selected from patients that attended our orthodontic clinic between 1991 and 2019. Twenty-five patients were diagnosed with ICR by magnetic resonance imaging; however, growing patients were excluded. In total, 18 patients were finally selected. The control group comprised 18 healthy volunteers. Lateral and frontal cephalograms were also used. The ICR group had significantly more severe skeletal class II malocclusions than the control group, mainly due to retrusion of the mandible. In the ICR group, there was a tendency for a skeletal open bite due to a significantly larger clockwise rotation of the mandible than in the control group. There was no significant difference between the two groups in the inclination of the upper and lower central incisors or protrusion of the upper and lower central incisors and first molars. ICR patients have been suggested to exhibit skeletal open bite and maxillary protrusion with changes in maxillofacial morphology due to abnormal resorption of the mandibular condyle.
