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
objectivesThe aim of this study is to comparatively evaluate morphologic changes in the mandibular angle and condylar region, assess the mandibular cortical index (MCI), and analyze the relationships between these parameters in bruxers and non-bruxers using panoramic radiographs.
methodsA total of 182 patients (364 mandibular condyle and angle), 91 bruxers and 91 non-bruxers (controls), aged between 18 and 35, were participated in this study. Three hundred sixty four mandibular angles were classified as G0, G1, G2, G3 in terms of bone apposition and direction change. In addition, osseous changes in the mandibular condyle were determined and the endoestal edge of the basal cortex was evaluated according to the MCI classification. Parameters were analyzed using the Pearson's Chi-Square test and Fisher's Exact test. A p value < 0.05 was considered significant.
resultMCI class C1, G0 class, and normal condyle type were found to be significantly more common in the non-bruxist group than in the bruxist group (p < 0.001, p = 0.025, p = 0.006, respectively). It was determined that deformity and MCI-C2 class were more common in the bruxist group (p = 0.006, p < 0.001). Morphologic changes in the endosteal margin of the cortex and in the condylar region were observed more frequently in bruxist individuals.
conclusionFor a general overview of the probable presence of bruxism, osseous changes in the mandibular condyle, and MCI can be used as auxiliary diagnostic markers.
