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

This study aimed to use cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging to assess maxillary sinus volume and related measurements in different sagittal skeletal classes. Sixty CBCT images of adult patients aged between 18 and 25 years were collected and divided into three groups based on the ANB angle value: Class I (ANB = 0-4 degrees), Class II (ANB > 4 degrees), and Class III (ANB < 0 degrees). Maxillary sinus volume, surface area, width, depth, and height measurements were performed using Mimics Research TM software version 21.0. The maxillary sinus measurements were compared among the three skeletal groups. A total of 60 patients, with a mean age of 21.10 ± 2.00 years (ranging from 18 to 25 years), met the inclusion criteria. Statistical analysis revealed no significant difference in maxillary sinus measurements between the right and left sides (P > 0.05). Therefore, the mean value of bilateral measurements was used for subsequent analysis. No significant differences were observed in maxillary sinus volume, surface area, or height among the three skeletal classes (P > 0.05). However, the Class I group exhibited significantly greater maxillary sinus width and depth compared to Class III (P < 0.05).
