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

This study aimed to investigate the incidence of infraorbital canal (IOC) protrusion into the maxillary sinus via computed tomography (CT) and classify its variations. Additionally, it sought to identify nearby sinonasal variations that might elevate the risk of iatrogenic injury. Paranasal sinus CT of 500 patients was evaluated retrospectively. The IOC types were categorized. The length of the IOC, septum, the distance between the maxillary ostium and IOC (dOI), the presence of Haller cells, IOC-related intra-sinus opacity, and IOC dehiscence were investigated. The prevalence of type 3 IOC was 12%, of which 9.2% were type 3c. The maximum length of the IOC was positively correlated with type 3 IOC. A significant difference was found between IOC types in terms of dOI only on the left side. On both sides, the incidence of Haller cells was greater in patients with type 2 IOC than in those with type 1 and in patients with type 3 IOC than in those with type 2. IOC-related opacity and IOC dehiscence were more common in types 2 and 3 IOCs. The assessment of preoperative IOC types and neighboring anatomical structures by CT imaging is of great significance in preventing iatrogenic damage.
