1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Hemifacial microsomia (HFM) is the second most common congenital craniofacial disease and has a wide spectrum of symptoms. The classic diagnostic criterion for hemifacial microsomia is the OMENS system, which was later refined to the OMENS+ system to include more anomalies. We analyzed the data of 103 HFM patients with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for temporomandibular joint (TMJ) discs. The TMJ disc classification was defined into four types: D0 for normal disc size and shape; D1 for disc malformation with adequate length to cover the (reconstructed) condyle; D2 for disc malformation with inadequate length to cover the (reconstructed) condyle; and D3 for no obvious presence of a disc. Additionally, this disc classification was positively correlated with the mandible classification (correlation coefficient: 0.614,
