3D analysis of maxillomandibular morphology in hyperdivergent and hypodivergent individuals: A cross-sectional study.

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
introductionThe aim of this cross-sectional study was to investigate maxillomandibular morphology in hyperdivergent and hypodivergent individuals, using 3D surface models generated by cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).
methodsThe sample consisted of 60 CBCTs (30 males, 30 females) patients aged 12-30 years, divided into two groups comprising hyperdivergent (≥35°) and hypodivergent (≤30°) individuals, according to the mandibular plane (MP) angle. Multiplanar reconstructions were used to mark the landmarks, and 3D surface models were created to evaluate structures of the maxillomandibular complex, including condyle, ramus, symphysis and palatal height. Intergroup comparisons were performed by independent t-test. Pearson's correlation test was used (P < .05) to evaluate the correlation of the MP angle with the angles and linear measurements of other structures.
resultsSignificant differences were found between the groups regarding condylar width, ramus height, condylar plus ramus height, mandibular length, gonial angle, palatal plane angle and palatal-mandibular angle. No differences (P > .05) were found for the condylar height, symphysis inclination angle or palatal height. Correlations (P < .05) were found between the MP angle and structures of the maxillomandibular complex.
conclusionsHyperdivergent (MP ≥ 35°) and hypodivergent (MP ≤ 30°) individuals present different skeletal morphology regarding condylar width, ramus height, condylar plus ramus height, mandibular length, gonial angle, palatal plane angle and palatal-mandibular angle. There is a significant correlation between MP angle and morphological structures such as condyle, ramus, symphysis, palatal plane angle and palatal-mandibular angle.
