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
objectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the relationship between radiographic measurements of the alveolar bone in posterior single-tooth edentulous regions and radiographic measurements of non-alveolar jawbones using multidetector computed tomography (MDCT).
methodsThe sample consisted of 47 patients aged between 20 and 42 years who underwent MDCT. All patients had a posterior single-tooth edentulous region. Extraction was performed 1-8 years ago at the time of inclusion (mean = 3.2). The alveolar bone in the edentulous region and non-alveolar bone regions (maxillary tuberosity, condyles, inferior to the mandibular foramen, and mandibular angle) were studied radiographically (radiographic density, dimensions, and cortical bone ratio). Pearson correlation, independent sample t test, and linear regression analysis were used for the statistical analysis.
resultsRadiographic density of the alveolar bone (measured in the axial or buccolingual directions) correlated significantly with that of the maxillary tuberosity (0.3 < r < 0.4; P value ≥ 0.001) and, to a lesser extent, with the radiographic density of the region inferior to the mental foramen (r ≈ 0.3). Based on these correlation coefficients, non-alveolar bone density could explain 10-16% of the alveolar bone density after extraction according to linear regression analysis.
conclusionsThis study revealed that alveolar bone radiographic density was correlated with that of the maxillary tuberosity and inferior to the mental foramen region. Accordingly, linear regression models were suggested to aid in predicting future alveolar bone density in areas where extraction is to be performed.
