Comparison of the Length of Styloid Process in Panoramic Radiographs to Computed Tomography as the Gold Standard.
Article in Journal of pharmacy & bioallied sciences, 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
Aims: To compare the length of styloid process assessed using computed tomography (CT) and panoramic radiographs (PAN). Materials and Methods: PAN were taken for 15 patients requiring CT reporting to PMS Dental College or metro scans, after obtaining informed consent and fulfilling all the inclusion and exclusion criteria. CT images were taken in metro scans. The apparent lengths of styloid process were measured in both CT and PAN using software provided with the respective machines. Ethical committee approval was obtained from PMS Dental College, Trivandrum. Results: The length of left styloid process in CT was observed 20-30 mm in 4 (27%) patients and same in PAN was observed in 5 (33%) patients. Out of 15 patients, abnormal styloid process (length >30 mm) was observed in 11 (73%) patients when measured with CT and 10 (67%) patients in PAN. In CT, the length of the styloid process on the right side was observed between 20 and 30 mm, in 3 (20%) patients. PAN of 2 (13%) patients were found between 20 and 30 mm. On the right side, abnormal styloid process (length >30 mm) was noted in 12 (80%) patients using CT and 13 (87%) patients in PAN. The length of styloid process in the combined sample (both right and left side) was found to be between 20 and 30 mm in 3 (10%) patients and styloid process >30 mm long (in both CT and PAN) was observed in 12 (40%) patients. Conclusions: This study demonstrated positive correlation between CT and panoramic measurements. "P" values were statistically significant on both sides with values of right side (
