Assessment of condylar and glenoid fossa dimension in various sagittal skeletal malocclusions.
Article in Journal of orthodontic science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
introductionJaw mobility and oral function depend on the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), with the dimensions of the mandibular condyle and glenoid fossa being important for understanding dental and orthodontic conditions. Additionally, advanced imaging, like cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), has improved the study of condylar morphology, aiding diagnosis and treatment planning.
aimTo perform morphometric analysis of the TMJs using CBCT in all three dimensions in various skeletal malocclusions. MATERIALS AND
methodsCBCT images of 84 patients were collected for the study. FACAD (ILEXIS AB, Linköping, Sweden) software was used to divide the patients into Class I, II, and III skeletal malocclusions. Dolphin software was used to measure the width, length, and height of condyles and glenoid fossa of the patients from the CBCT images. The Shapiro-Wilk test was used to check normality. ANOVA test was performed to assess the statistical significance of the results between the 3 groups.
resultsThe sample consisted of 30 patients with class I skeletal relation, 34 patients with class II relation, and 20 patients with class III relation. In class I relation, the average condylar height is found to be 16.32 mm ± 2.16 mm, width is 16.47 mm ± 2.61 mm, and length 7.65 mm ± 1.5 mm. The average dimensions of the glenoid fossa in class I skeletal relation were measured to be 19.93 mm ± 2.64 mm in width, 13.93 mm ± 1.45 mm in length, and 6.4 mm ± 1.49 mm in height.
conclusionA statistically significant difference was noted in the condylar width and condylar height among the various skeletal malocclusions. The morphological parameters assessed in this study require more investigation to fully understand the mechanisms underlying them and investigate the consequences for orthodontic treatment and TMJ health.
