Effects of Crest Morphology on Lingual Concavity in Mandibular Molar Region: an Observational Study.
Article in Journal of oral & maxillofacial research. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Objectives: The aim of this radiological study is to evaluate the lingual concavity dimensions and possible implant length in each posterior tooth region according to posterior crest type classification by using cone-beam computed tomography. Material and Methods: According to inclusion criteria, 836 molar teeth regions from 209 cone-beam computed tomography images were evaluated. Posterior crest type (concave, parallel, or convex), possible implant length, lingual concavity angle, width, and depth were recorded. Results: In each posterior tooth region, concave (U-type) crest was detected most frequently while convex (C-type) was the lowest. Possible implant length values were higher in second molar regions than first molars. Lingual concavity width and depth were decreasing from second molars to first molars for both sides. Additionally, lingual concavity angle showed higher values in second molar sites than first molars. In all molar teeth regions, lingual concavity width values were the highest in concave (U-type) crest type while they were the lowest in convex (C-type) crest type (P < 0.05). Lingual concavity angle values were recorded as the highest in concave (U-type) and the lowest in convex (C-type) crest type at the left first molar and right molars (P < 0.05). Conclusions: The lingual concavity dimensions and possible implant length may vary according to crest type and edentulous tooth region. Due to this effect, the surgeons should examine crest type clinically and radiologically. All parameters in the present study are decreasing while moving from anterior to posterior as well as from concave (U-type) to convex (C-type) morphologies.
