Geometric relationships of neural and bony landmarks of the cranial base.
Article in Anatomical science international, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The skull base serves as structural support for the brain and as a conduit for neurovasculature. Traditional morphometric methods have intrinsic limitations which make wholistic assessment of this anatomy challenging. Here we applied geometric morphometric techniques to address the problems associated with traditional morphometric strategies for evaluating skeletal and soft tissue components of the skull base. A Microscribe® i+ 3-D digitizer was used to register the location of 20 3-D skeletal and neural landmarks on the skull base of 80 anatomic body donors (mean age 83.0 ± 10.1 years). Linear measurements of neurocranial dimensions were collected with traditional methods. A principal component analysis (PCA) was applied to Procrustes aligned coordinates of the 3-D data. The first principal component accounted for 34.24% of the variation and was associated with changes in clival width and sella turcica length. Shape changes associated with PC1 scores correlated with configuration size (centroid size) (R
