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
introductionZygomatic implants represent a reliable treatment modality for patients with severe maxillary bone resorption, eliminating the need for bone grafting and enabling immediate loading. This study utilized cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) to identify optimal zygomatic bone regions for implant placement by assessing bone-implant contact (BIC) while minimizing intrusion risks into the infratemporal fossa (ITF). Additionally, differences in zygomatic characteristics between males and females were investigated to address the limited evidence regarding the influence of biological sex on BIC and implant stability.
methodsThis retrospective study analyzed CBCT scans from 20 fully edentulous patients (9 male and 11 female) with severe maxillary resorption. Zygomatic bone thickness, length, and BIC were measured at 12 anatomical points across the superior, middle, and inferior regions using standardized CBCT imaging and Nobel Clinician software. Virtual implants were placed to evaluate intrusion into the infratemporal fossa. Statistical analyses, including Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney U tests, were conducted to compare zygomatic measurements across regions and between genders.
resultsThe greatest bone thicknesses in the superior, middle, and inferior regions were observed at Point A
