A Study on Sexual Dimorphism of Adult Wet Scaphoid Specimens.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background Sexual dimorphism in human bones has mostly been confined to the study of the bony pelvis. However, considerable changes also exist in the other parts of the skeletal system. This study focuses on the differences in the morphometry of male and female adult scaphoids. Aims and objectives We aim to study the morphometry of male and female adult human scaphoids and determine the differences between the same. Materials and methods A total of 100 scaphoids were freshly dissected from both hands of 25 male and 25 female cadavers in Saveetha Medical College, Chennai, India. The soft tissues were loosened using 5% potassium hydroxide (KOH) solution. Further, the soft tissues were removed by meticulous dissection. For the measurements, vernier calipers and threads for circumference measurement were used. Results The morphometric parameters included length, proximal width, width of the middle part (waist), distal width and circumference of the waist, and circumference of the tubercle in scaphoids. Statistical differences were found in most of the parameters. Conclusion A statistically significant difference exists between the morphometric measurements of male and female adult scaphoids, which may prove helpful in the fracture fixation of the scaphoid, as scaphoid fracture has a risk of avascular necrosis.
