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
Introduction: Knowledge of the anatomical structures related to the anterior maxilla is essential to anticipate complications in oral and maxillofacial surgery procedures. The aim of this study was to determine the anatomical characteristics of the nasopalatine canal (NPC) in adults using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Materials and Methods: This retrospective study included a sample of 195 CBCTs of Peruvian adults (56.4% women) aged 19-60 years (mean age: 43.73 ± 11.16). Sagittal NPC slices were selected for measurement by a calibrated evaluator (intraclass correlation coefficient ≥0.817) based on length (mm), inclination in degrees (°) and type (vertical <10° and inclined ≥10°), inferior diameter and shape (cylindrical, funnel, hourglass, and spindle). ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis, Student's Results: The NPC was characterized by a length of 10.91 ± 2.38 mm, a diameter of 3.46 ± 0.93 mm, an inclination angle of 19.17° ± 8.26° with a predominant inclination ≥10° (85.6%), and a cylindrical shape (55.4%). A larger diameter was associated with men, whereas a greater inclination was associated with women ( Conclusions: The study describes the anatomical characteristics of the NPC in a sample of Peruvian adults with anterosuperior dentition and their dimorphism by sex and age in relation to diameter and inclination.
