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

Background/purpose: There is no study available addressing the relationship between orbital volume (OV) and skeletal patterns. The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlations between the OV and patient's characteristics (sex, age, height, and skeletal patterns) of Taiwanese adults. Materials and methods: Cone-beam computed tomography images of 94 individuals (men: 47; women: 47) were analyzed to measure their OV and maxillary dimensions. The Student t test was used to compare the OVs of men and women. The correlations between the OV and skeletal patterns (Classes I, II, and III) were investigated through one-way analysis of variance followed by post hoc Bonferroni correction. Results: The mean OV was significantly larger in the men than in the women (25.67 ± 1.89 cm Conclusion: Men tend to have a larger OV than do women. The OV and maxillary dimensions were significantly correlated with height. Furthermore, the OV does not vary significantly between sex-specific groups with different skeletal patterns.
