Evaluation of bone changes on dental panoramic radiography using mandibular indexes and fractal dimension analysis in children with familial Mediterranean fever.
Article in Oral radiology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
aimIt was aimed to evaluate the bone microarchitecture of children with FMF in the city of Tokat, where the disease is highly prevalent, in Turkey, one of the countries where familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) disease is the most common, using mandibular indexes and fractal dimension analysis on panoramic radiography.
methodsIn this retrospective study, the results were evaluated and compared using the mandibular cortical index (MCI), the mental index (MI), the panoramic mandibular index (PMI), and the fractal dimension analysis of six different regions (condyle, angulus, and interdental) on dental panoramic radiographs in 124 children with FMF and 124 healthy children. The data were analyzed using the IBM SPSS V23.
resultsThe distribution of MCI in children with FMF was similar to the control group (p > 0.05). The mean MI (3.59) values in FMF patients were statistically higher than the control group (p = 0.016). No statistically significant difference was found in PMI between the patients with FMF and the control group (p > 0.05). No statistically significant difference was found between the mean fractal dimension (FD) values according to the groups (p > 0.05).
conclusionTrabecular bone microarchitecture of children with FMF is similar to healthy children. There is no correlation between the duration of colchicine use and bone microarchitecture.
