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

objectiveTo assess the correlation between pharyngeal airway dimension measurements via cephalometrics and those via cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) in patients with skeletal Class II malocclusions. SUBJECTS AND

methodsIn this cross-sectional retrospective study, we reviewed the medical records of 106 patients referred for both CBCT and cephalometric imaging between 2022 and 2023 at Can Tho University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital. Pharyngeal airway dimensions were measured using WEBCEPH software for cephalometric analysis and Mimics Research software for CBCT image processing and analysis.

resultsA strong correlation between cephalometric films and CBCT images was observed regarding airway parameters. The airway volume exhibited a negative correlation with the ANB and SN-GoGn angles and a positive correlation with the SNB angle.

conclusionsCephalometric analysis may serve as a fundamental screening tool to provide valuable information regarding the morphological characteristics of the airway as an alternative to CBCT.
