Assessment of cortical and trabecular bone structure in the mandible of patients with Behçet's Disease.
Article in BMC oral health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
objectiveBehçet's Disease (BD) may impair bone remodeling, increasing osteoporosis risk. This study evaluates mandibular trabecular bone fractal dimension (FD), mandibular cortical index (MCI), and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) degeneration in BD patients versus healthy controls. MATERIALS AND
methodsA total of 106 panoramic radiographs, comprising 53 from BD patients and 53 from healthy individuals, were examined. Fractal analysis was performed using ImageJ software, selecting 50 × 50 pixel regions of interest (ROIs) from the gonial, interdental, and condylar areas. Degenerative changes in the TMJ, including osteophytes, sclerosis, surface flattening, erosion, and subchondral cysts, were recorded. Statistical analysis was conducted with SPSS v.21 (IBM, Armonk, USA), using a significance level of p < 0.05.
resultsThe BD group exhibited significantly lower FD values compared to the control group (p < 0.05). Similarly, MCI scores differed significantly between the groups (p < 0.05). BD patients showed more pronounced radiological evidence of mandibular cortical resorption than controls. Additionally, degenerative changes in the TMJ were more prevalent among BD patients (p < 0.05).
conclusionComprehensive evaluation of the mandibular cortex, trabecular bone, and TMJ is crucial in BD patients to effectively detect and monitor osteoporotic alterations. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: BD patients may face considerable oral health challenges, such as jawbone deterioration and TMJ complications. Prompt diagnosis and treatment of these issues can enhance therapeutic outcomes and improve overall quality of life.
