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
Introduction A deviated nasal septum may be associated with some dentofacial deformities. The aim of the study was to determine whether there is a relationship between some craniomaxillary features of unilateral and bilateral maxillary impacted canines and nasal septum deviation. Methods This is a retrospective study consisting of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images of 51 patients. All patients were divided into three subgroups: unilateral maxillary impacted canines (UMIC) (n=19) bilateral maxillary impacted canines (BMIC) (n=15), and control group (MC) (n=17). The septal deviation angle and some angular and dimensional measurements were performed. Differences in linear and angular measurements between the groups were analyzed using One-way ANOVA and the Kruskal-Wallis test. Pearson's correlation analysis was performed to determine the relationship between the septal deviation angle, septal deviation direction, nasal floor angle, and other parameters, and multivariate linear regression analysis was performed to determine the effect of variables in the septal deviation angle. Results Bilateral or unilateral position of the impacted canines was found to be effective on septal deviation. The septal deviation angle and the nasal floor angle values were found to be significantly higher in the UMIC and BMIC groups (p<0.001) than in the MC group. Maxillary width was found to be significantly lower in the BMIC group compared to the UMIC (p<0.01) and MC group (p<0.001). Septal deviation angle was positively correlated with septal deviation direction and nasal floor angle (p<0.001). Palatal width and nasal floor angle were found to be negatively correlated (p<0.05), and palatal depth and septal deviation direction were found to be positively correlated (p<0.01). Groups and septal deviation angle, septal deviation direction, and nasal floor angle were found to be negatively correlated (p<0.001). The multivariate linear regression analysis revealed an association between septal deviation angle, group (p<0.01), and nasal floor angle (p<0.05). Conclusion Bilateral or unilateral position of the impacted canines was found to be effective on septal deviation. The septal deviation angle values were found to be higher when the maxillary impacted canine was unilateral. Unilateral or bilateral positions of the impacted canine and the nasal floor angle were found to be factors affecting the formation of septal deviation.
