Effect of Diet Consistency on Rat Mandibular Growth: A Geometric Morphometric and Linear Cephalometric Study.
Article in Biology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
backgroundOur study intended to investigate the null hypothesis that there is no effect of diet consistency on rat mandibular growth.
methodsA total sample of 24 female wistar rats, 30 days old, was used in this study. In the first group, the rats were fed soft diet and in the second group, they were fed hard diet for 60 days. On the 60th day, the rats were sedated and lateral cephalometric X-rays were taken. Lateral cephalometric X-rays were digitized with 7 craniofacial landmarks for the linear measurements, as well as with 12 curves and 90 landmarks, of which 74 were semilandmarks and 16 were fixed landmarks for morphometric analysis. These landmarks were exposed to Procrustes superimposition and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to describe the shape variability of the mandible.
resultsMeans measurements of the soft diet group compared to those of the hard diet group were significantly different in linear and morphometric analysis measurements. The soft diet group of wistar rats revealed significant changes on the condyle (smaller), the angle of the mandible, and on the body of the mandible.
conclusionsDiet consistency affects the craniofacial growth of rats. Soft diet could be responsible for less mandibular growth.
