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

purposeThis examination aimed to display the size and topographic position of the Vidian canal (VC) in normal children.

methods180 pediatric subjects aged 1-18 years were included this computed tomography examination. The distances of VC to certain landmarks, and VC length were measured. The locations of VC according to the sphenoid sinus, and the medial plate of pterygoid process were classified as three types, separately.

resultsThe distances of VC to the vomerine crest, midsagittal plane, round foramen, and the superior wall of sphenoid sinus were measured as 12.68 ± 3.17 mm, 10.76 ± 2.52 mm, 8.62 ± 2.35 mm, and 14.16 ± 5.00 mm, respectively. The length and angle of VC were measured as 12.00 ± 2.52 mm, and 16.60 ± 9.76°, respectively. According to the sphenoid bone, VC location was identified as Type 1 in 113 sides (47.5%), as Type 2 in 70 sides (29.4%), and as Type 3 in 55 sides (23.1%). According to the medial plate of pterygoid process, VC location was identified as Type A in 274 sides (76.1%), as Type B in 55 sides (15.3%), and as Type C in 31 sides (8.6%). VC location types correlated with pediatric ages, but not sex or side.

conclusionWith advancing pediatric age, the protrusion of VC into the sphenoid sinus increases, and VC shifts from medial to lateral side of the medial plate of pterygoid process.
