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

Horizontal and vertical position of the maxillary molar roots in relation to the sinus floor was compared between subjects with and without odontogenic related mucosal thickening (MT) using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). CBCT images of 330 subjects were evaluated based on the observation of odontogenic related MT. Moreover, horizontal and vertical position of the maxillary molar roots in relation to the sinus floor was investigated and categorized. Pearson Chi-Square and Fisher's exact tests were used for the statistical comparisons with the significance level set at 0.05. Among the horizontal relationships, "BP" which refers to the lowest point of the sinus floor being positioned between the buccal and palatal roots was the most frequent in the first and second molars. With respect to the vertical relationships, "2b" variant which refers to the root apices being in contact with the sinus floor without its elevation was the most common type. A significant relationship was found between MT and horizontal relation type "B" in the first molars which refers to the lowest point of the sinus floor being positioned on the buccal side of the buccal roots (
