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.

Abstract
Post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is associated with remodeling of the subchondral bone. This remodeling changes both the external appearance of the condylar bone and the internal bony microstructure. The external geometry can be quantified using shape, a multivariate mathematical measurement that contains all of the structure's geometric information with location, scale, and rotation effects removed. There is an important gap in knowledge related to how TMJ PTOA affects the shape of the mandible and if the external shape covaries with the internal bony microstructure. To evaluate these gaps, TMJ PTOA was induced in male and female skeletally mature mice using a surgical destabilization procedure. After four weeks, tissues were collected and characterized using a high-resolution μCT scanner. Shape was calculated from surface reconstructions of the mandibular condyle, and the internal bony microstructure was characterized by the region of interest including the subchondral trabeculae. The covariance of shape with and without corrections for allometric scaling and internal bony microstructure was calculated using a Procrustes ANOVA. The data illustrate that PTOA significantly alters the shape of the condyle in a sex-independent manner. PTOA does alter some aspects of the internal bony microstructure in a sex-dependent manner. Allometric scaling was a significant factor in the variance of shape. Shape including the effects of allometric scaling significantly covaries with some internal bony microstructure variables in both sexes. Shape scaled to remove the effects of allometric scaling does not covary with internal bony microstructure in either sex. These findings indicate that PTOA progression is associated with changes in the size and shape of the condyle but variance in trabecular bone remodeling is only associated with size related shape change. Thus, the allostatic response of subchondral bone is multimodal, coordinating two independent biological processes controlling size and shape. Since subchondral bone participates in and guides the progression of PTOA, these findings have implications for identifying select and specific mechanisms contributing to the progression and pathophysiology of the PTOA in the TMJ.
