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 examine the precision of imaging measures commonly used to assess mandibular morphology in children and adolescents with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). Secondly, to compare cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the measurement of condylar height.

methodsThose included were children diagnosed with JIA during 2015-18 who had had an MRI, a CBCT of the temporomandibular joints (TMJs) and a lateral cephalogram (ceph) of the head within one month of each other. Agreement within and between observers and methods was examined using Bland-Altman mean-difference plots and 95% limits of agreement (LOA). A 95% LOA within 15% of the sample mean was considered acceptable. Minimal detectable change (MDC) within and between observers was estimated.

results90 patients (33 males) were included, with a mean age of 12.8 years. For MRI, intra- and interobserver 95% LOA were relatively narrow for total mandibular length: 9.6% of the sample mean. For CBCT, condylar height, both intra- and interobserver 95% LOA were wide: 16.0 and 28.4% of the sample mean, respectively. For ceph, both intra- and interobserver 95% LOA were narrow for the SNA-angle and gonion angle: 5.9 and 8% of the sample mean, and 6.2 and 6.8%, respectively.

conclusionsWe have identified a set of precise measurements for facial morphology assessments in JIA, including one MRI-based (total mandibular length), one CBCT-based (condylar height), and three ceph-based. Condylar height was higher for MRI than for CBCT; however, the measurement was too imprecise for clinical use. MDC was also determined for a series of measurements.
