Radio-Morphometric Analysis of Sella Turcica in Relation to Age and Gender in Sri Ganganagar Population: A Prospective Cephalometric Study.
Article in Cureus, 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
Background Sella turcica (ST) is a crucial structure that is morphologically situated in the median position and is well-utilised in cephalometrics. This saddle-shaped sella constitutes a significant radiographic landmark for various related analyses. Therefore, studying its varying dimensions in different populations is of utmost importance. This paper evaluates and compares the linear dimensions and morphological variations of ST in different facial skeletal classes in relation to age and gender using lateral cephalograms in the Sri Ganganagar population. Methodology The study population was selected through simple random sampling from the accessible population of the Sri Ganganagar district. A total of 180 participants of both genders were selected from patients who visited the outpatient clinic of the Department of Oral Medicine and Radiology of Surendra Dental College and Research Institute in Sri Ganganagar. These samples were equally divided into three age groups. Apart from typical morphology, five possible variations of ST were determined. The area of ST on the lateral cephalogram was also evaluated. The extent of ST was calculated from the tubercle portion to the top of the dorsal side. The relative deepness of the sella was assessed by making a tangent across the innermost point of the sella. SPSS software was utilised for statistical analysis and related inferences. Results In the study sample (n = 180), 50% were men and 50% were women. The sample was divided into three equal groups based on age: Group I (n = 60; 33.33%) consisted of participants aged 15-20; Group II (n = 60; 33.33%) consisted of participants aged 21-25; and Group III (n = 60; 33.33%) consisted of participants aged 26-30. Conclusions The anteroposterior diameter of the sella structure is strongly related to age progression with no significant gender correlation. The most common shape of ST other than the normal one was oblique. Additionally, skeletal relationships showed a significant relationship with the shape of ST in the study population.
