Evaluation of hyoid bone position, shape, area, volume, and tongue volume.
Article in Surgical and radiologic anatomy : SRA, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
purposeOur study aims to determine the position and types of the hyoid bone and to evaluate the morphometry of the hyoid bone and tongue according to sex.
methodsOur study included cervical Computed Tomography (CT) images of 200 individuals (100 females, 100 males) between the ages of 18 and 84. Using the 3D Slicer software package, hyoid bone position, shape, area, volume and tongue volume measurements were made on these images.
resultsIn our study, the position of the hyoid bone was found to be proportionally at the C3 vertebral level in both sexes. The most common hyoid bone was type B, while the least common was type V. Type B rate was statistically higher in females, and type H rate was higher in males (p < 0.05). Participants with type H had statistically higher bone volumes and areas than those with type B (p < 0.05). Differences between bone volumes and areas of other bone types were not statistically significant (p > 0.05). Average hyoid bone volume (females 1575.9 mm
conclusionHyoid bone volume, hyoid bone area and tongue volume were higher in males than females. As tongue volume increased, hyoid bone volume and hyoid bone area increased. The connection between tongue volume and hyoid bone volume will contribute to dentomaxillary development and surgical procedures, and bone morphology will also be important in different disciplines.
