Relationship between zygomatic process morphology and maxillary sinus pneumatization.

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
Recognizing the characteristics of the zygomatic process of the maxilla (ZPM) has several applications in implant dentistry and orthodontics. The present study evaluated the relationship between ZPM morphology, as obtained from panoramic images, and sinus pneumatization within the ZPM, according to cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). CBCT and panoramic images of 300 patients were obtained, and the patients were divided into three age groups: Group I (15-34 years), Group II (35-55 years), and Group III (≥ 55 years). ZPM morphology was classified into J-shaped and non-J-shaped types based on panoramic images. The ZPM volume, maxillary sinus volume, and extent of sinus pneumatization within the ZPM were measured using CBCT scans, and their relationship to ZPM morphology classification was evaluated. Statistical analyses were performed using the Shapiro-Wilk test, one-way ANOVA, independent sample t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal-Wallis test, and chi-square test (α = 0.05). Participants ranged in age from 17 to 82 years, and 67% were female. Most ZPMs were J-shaped (75%). J-shaped ZPMs had significantly greater sinus volume (1.83 ± 0.81 cm
