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
backgroundOn every patient's lateral cephalogram, the frontal and maxillary sinuses are the most often seen paranasal sinuses. Impacted teeth alter the morphology of the frontal and maxillary sinuses. Consequently, it has an impact on the patient's look and occlusion.
objectiveTo determine the mean height, width, and index of maxillary and frontal sinuses and compare them among high, average, and low-angle patients underwent orthodontic treatment. MATERIAL AND
methodsA total of 192 cephalometric radiographs of patients who presented with malalignment of teeth having high, average, and low angles and underwent orthodontic treatment were selected. On radiograph, frontal sinus, maxillary sinus, and cephalometric landmarks were traced. Patients were divided into different classes of skeletal vertical malocclusion. The morphology of maxillary and frontal sinuses on lateral cephalogram was measured. Means ± SDs of the quantitative variable were calculated. ANOVA test was applied to compare maxillary and frontal sinus heights, widths, and indexes between high-angle, average-angle, and low-angle patients.
resultsThe mean ± SD of height, width, and index of frontal sinus was 30.41 ± 2.59, 10.81 ± 1.53, and 3.44 ± 0.68, respectively, while these findings for maxillary sinus were 40.09 ± 2.36, 36.33 ± 3.38, and 1.11 ± 0.07, respectively. The mean frontal sinus width was significantly different among profile angles (
conclusionIn comparison to high- and low-angle profiles, the frontal sinus width was greater in the average angle profile. The average width, breadth, and index in the maxillary sinus varied statistically between different angle profiles. In comparison to high- and low-angle profiles, the height, width, and index of the maxillary sinus were all higher in the average angle profile.
