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
Objectives: This study evaluated the prevalence, diameter and location of the mandibular incisive canal (MIC) and the transition pattern and anterior loop length (ALL) of the mental canal and compared these values between Methods: A total of 187 cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images of mandibles, namely, 100 images of dentate mandibles and 87 images of edentulous mandibles, were obtained. CBCT data related to the incisive canal and mental canal were analyzed by one examiner. Results: The prevalence of the MIC was 75∼78 %, showing no difference based on laterality or the presence of teeth. The ALL significantly differed depending on the presence of teeth as well as sex. The presence of teeth affected the size of the MIC in the female group, and the diameter of the MIC in the edentulous group was significantly narrower than that in the dentate group. The diameter of the MIC was significantly greater in males than in females in the edentulous group. Meanwhile, the location of the MIC in the male group depended on the presence of teeth at each measuring point, and the MIC was significantly closer to the lower border of the mandible in the female group than in the male group at all measuring points except at 0 mm. Conclusions: This study indicated that the presence of teeth significantly affects the type of transition of the mental canal, the ALL, and the diameter and location of the MIC. Additionally, sex could be a factor affecting MIC location, MIC diameter and anterior loop length.
