Sex Determination Using Linear Anthropometric Measurements Relative to the Mandibular Reference Plane on CBCT 3D Images.
Article in Journal of imaging, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Sex determination is a fundamental component of forensic identification and medicolegal investigations. Several studies have investigated sexual dimorphism through mandibular osteometric measurements, including the position of anatomical foramina such as the mandibular and mental foramen (MF), reporting population-specific discrepancies. This study assessed the reliability and predictive ability of specific anthropometric mandibular measurements for sex estimation using three-dimensional (3D) cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) surface reconstructions. Methods: CBCT scans from 204 Greek individuals (18-70 years) were analyzed. Records were categorized by sex and age. Five linear measurements were traced on 3D reconstructions using ViewBox 4 software: projections of the inferior points of the right and left mental and mandibular foramina and the linear distance between mental foramina projections. A binary logistic regression (BLR) model was employed. All measurements showed statistically significant sex differences, with males presenting higher mean values. The final model achieved accuracy of 66.7% in sex prediction, with two vertical measurements-distances from the right mandibular foramen and the left mental foramen-identified as the strongest predictors of sex. The positions of the mandibular and mental foramina demonstrate sex-related dimorphism in this Greek sample, supporting their forensic relevance in population-specific applications.
