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
Background: One of the major drawbacks of cone beam computed tomography (cone beam CT) is that unlike CT, the gray density values obtained from cone beam CT are relative, and not absolute as obtained in the case of CT. The present study was conducted with the intent to perform a comparative bone densitometric analysis using cone beam CT and CT and to determine if there was a mathematical correlation between the two. Materials and Methods: The present in-vitro study included CT and cone beam CT scans of 30 dry mandibles wherein the gray density values from well-demarcated, precise anatomical areas were obtained, analyzed, and compared. Also, the dependent Results: Pearson's correlation between the gray density values for different combinations of point(s)/group(s) as derived on CT and cone beam CT images revealed the results to be statistically significant for each of the imaging methods used, individually and when compared in between the two methods, in all the cases ( Conclusions: The mean gray density values obtained with cone beam CT were found to be significantly higher than the ones derived from CT in the present study, though, a linear correlation was observed between the values obtained from cone beam CT and CT, which can be used to convert the relative values obtained with cone beam CT into absolute values derived with CT.
