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

Introduction: This epidemiological retrospective study evaluated cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) as a reliable and valid tool in assessing maxillary sinus (MS) morphology, location and prevalence of accessory maxillary ostia (AMO) and evaluating its distribution with regards to gender and its subtypes. Materials and Methods: The reporting of the study was done in accordance to strengthening the reporting of observational studies in epidemiology guidelines/checklist. Two hundred CBCT scans (400 MSs) were analysed for height and width of the maxillary sinuses (MSs) and its distribution with regards to gender. The prevalence of AMO and its different types of shapes were evaluated. Results: Between the male and female groups, differences on both the right and left sides with respect to the MS height were observed ( Discussion: The forensic anthropology through CBCT can utilise the MS width as a tool to assess various anatomical variations. The frequency of AMOs can be utilised as a critical indicator for assessing such morphological and anatomical variations. As a result, the excellent spatial resolution of CBCT enables it as a reliable tool for identification of even smallest anatomical variations in MS.
