Measurement of Thickness at the Inferior Border of the Mandible Using Computed Tomography Images: A Retrospective Study including 300 Japanese Cases.

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
Vascularised fibular free flaps are integral to reconstructive surgery for head and neck tumours. We investigated the morphological characteristics of the mandible to improve the incidence of plate-related complications after surgery. Using standard radiological software, thickness measurements of the inferior or posterior margin of the mandible were obtained from computed tomography images of 300 patients at seven sites: (1) mandibular symphysis, (2) midpoint between the mandibular symphysis and mental foramen, (3) mental foramen, (4) midpoint between the mental foramen and antegonial notch, (5) antegonial notch, (6) mandibular angular apex (gonion), and (7) neck lateral border of the dentate cartilage. Relationships between age, sex, height, weight, the number of remaining teeth in the mandible, and the thickness of each mandible were also investigated. Measurement point 1 had the largest median mandibular thickness (11.2 mm), and measurement point 6 had the smallest (5.4 mm). Females had thinner measurements than males at all points, with significant differences at points 1, 2, 3, 4, and 7 (
