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

objectivesThis study aimed to examine the relationship between computed tomography (CT) values of the condylar surface in the coronal plane, condylar morphology and the disc positions in the temporomandibular joint (TMJs) in patients with deformities before and after orthognathic surgery.  MATERIALS AND

methodsThe maximum CT values (pixel values) on the condylar surface, condylar thickness, condylar width, condylar angle, condylar height, and joint space were measured. TMJ disc position was classified into five types (anterior type, fully covered type, posterior type, anterior disc displacement with [AW] and without reduction [AWO]), using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), before and 1 year after surgery. Statistical analysis was performed to assess differences between groups and between the pre- and postoperative values. 

resultsWe enrolled 142 TMJs from 71 female patients diagnosed with jaw deformities. Disc position classification did not change after surgery in all TMJ. Significant differences were observed between anterior displacement (AW and AWO) and other types (fully covered type and posterior type) in the lateral CT value and condylar angle before and 1 year after surgery (P < 0.05). 

conclusionsThis study demonstrated a strong relationship between condylar surface CT values in the coronal plane and condylar angle with TMJ disc position classification.
