Positional relationship of the foramen ovale with the lateral pterygoid plate in children.

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
objectiveThe work aimed to reveal differences in the position of the foramen ovale (FO) relative to the lateral pterygoid plate (LPP) in children.
methodsComputed tomography images of 360 children (180 males and 180 females) aged 9.52 ± 5.17 years (range: 1-18 years) were included in the work. The position of FO relative to LPP were classified as four types (lateral, medial, direct and removed/far types).
resultsThe position of FO relative to LPP was identified as lateral type in 245 sides (34%), medial type in 95 sides (13.2%), direct type in 253 sides (35.2%), and removed/far type in 127 sides (17.6%). The dispersion ratios of FO location types showed that FO localization was not associated with sex (p = 0.952), side (p = 0.899), and pediatric age periods (p = 0.794).
conclusionsIncidence of FO location types in children appear to be consistent with adult literature rates. The positional relationship of FO with LPP in children is not related to sex, side and age. A surgeon wishing to place a needle into FO can gain relatively comfortable access to the opening by tracing LPP's base posteriorly, in approximately 80% of pediatric patients; thus, percutaneous procedure can be successfully applied to selected children regardless of age, sex and side.
