Assessment of mandibular asymmetry in different skeletal malocclusions and vertical patterns in adult individuals: A cone-beam computed tomography study.
Article in Journal of orthodontic science, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectivesThe study aims to measure the mandibular condylar height (CH), ramus height (RH), total height (CH+RH), asymmetry index, and condylar volume (Cvol) in individuals with different anteroposterior and vertical skeletal discrepancies. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe study sample consisted of 131 subjects (60 females and 71 males) with a mean age of 35.06 ± 12.79 years. Pre-existing CBCT images were divided into groups according to the anteroposterior and vertical skeletal discrepancies. The investigator analyzed the data using t-tests to assess the mandibular bilateral sides of the individuals and gender differences. The mean difference between groups was determined using a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). The Chi-square test was used to study the association between the asymmetry index and groups.
resultsEach individual's bilateral sides exhibited statistically significant differences in CH, RH, and Cvol (
conclusionsSignificant differences in CH, RH, and Cvol were found on the right and left sides of the same individual. This study found increased linear and volumetric values in males, skeletal Class III, and hypodivergent subjects. Class II individuals had an increased CH and Cvol asymmetry index. This study highlights in-depth knowledge of mandibular asymmetry, which is extremely important to achieve an accurate diagnosis and provide the best treatment outcome.
