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

Introduction: Maxillary sinus pathology, particularly its association with odontogenic infections, is a significant concern in dentistry. This retrospective study explored the prevalence of maxillary sinus pathologies and their association with odontogenic infections in Saudi Arabia. Methods: This retrospective study included 411 patients aged 20-80 years. Cone-beam computed tomography was performed to identify the presence, location, and characteristics of odontogenic infections and maxillary sinus pathologies. Patients' age and sex were also recorded. Results: Sinusitis was prevalent in 50.6 % of the cases, with no significant sex or age differences in the pathology distribution. A notable association was found between odontogenic and sinus pathologies, particularly on the left side. Conclusion: A significant prevalence of sinus pathologies, particularly sinusitis, was observed, with an association between odontogenic and sinus pathologies, notably on the left side. While acknowledging the limitations of the study, these findings underscore the need for integrated dental and sinus health assessments.
