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

The nasal bones are important bony parts of the external nose and maxillofacial scaffold. Generally, the nasal bone is a small quadrangular plate paired and attached to the frontonasal suture superiorly and the nasal septum internally. The nasal septum is symmetrically located and comprises the septal cartilage, the perpendicular plate of the ethmoid bone, and the vomer. Herein, we report the anatomy of single nasal bones (SNB) identified in two human skulls. Two adult human skulls were found to have SNB. In one, the nasal septum was bifid and hooked as it joined with the nasal bone superiorly. Understanding the morphological variations of the nasal bone and septum is important for maxillofacial surgeries and should be further clarified and studied. Although apparently very rare, a SNB, as seen in the present two cases, should be considered when interpreting imaging of the face.
