Objective analysis of facial bone fracture CT images using curvature measurement in a surface mesh model.
Article in Scientific reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The human facial skeleton consists of multiple segments and causes difficulty during analytic processes. We developed image analysis software to quantify the amount of injury and validate the smooth curvature of the surface after facial bone reduction surgery. Three-dimensional computed tomography images of facial bone were obtained from 40 patients who had undergone open reduction surgery to treat unilateral zygomaticomaxillary fractures. Analytic software was developed based on the discrete curvature of a triangular mesh model. The discrete curvature values were compared before and after surgery using two regions of interest. For the inferior orbital rim, the weighted average of curvature changed from 0.543 ± 0.034 to 0.458 ± 0.042. For the anterior maxilla, the weighted average of curvature changed from 0.596 ± 0.02 to 0.481 ± 0.031, showing a significant decrement (P < 0.05). The curvature was further compared with the unaffected side using the Bray-Curtis similarity index (BCSI). The BCSI of the inferior orbital rim changed from 0.802 ± 0.041 to 0.904 ± 0.015, and that for the anterior maxilla changed from 0.797 ± 0.029 to 0.84 ± 0.025, demonstrating increased similarity (P < 0.05). In computational biology, adequate analytic software is crucial. The newly developed software demonstrated significant differentiation between pre- and postoperative curvature values. Modification of formulas and software will lead to further advancements.
