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

Background: Residual Ridge Resorption (RRR) is a common and often incapacitating problem, particularly in edentulous mandible. Reduction of residual ridges needs to be recognized for what it is: A major unsolved oral disease that causes physical, psychological, and economic problems for millions of people all over the world. The aim of this study was to evaluate the residual ridge resorption in mandible of edentulous patients. To find the mean residual ridge resorption in mandible of edentulous patients. Methods: All patients who fulfilled the inclusion criteria and underwent prosthodontic rehabilitation at Fatima Memorial Dental Hospital, Lahore were included in the study. After ethical approval, informed and written consent was taken. A brief history was taken, clinical examination conducted and the residual ridge resorption (RRR) of the mandible was evaluated on 3D Cone Beam Computerized Tomography CBCT to assess the outcome that is mean RRR of the mandible. Results: A total of 60 edentulous patients were included. 37 (61.7%) patients were males while 23 (38.3%) were females with the mean age of 59.1167+5.489 years. The mean ridge residual resorption was 24.283+3.975 mm. Conclusion: The residual ridge resorption increased with increase in age, duration of edentulism and was more in males than in females.
