Rabbit Skull Shape: Three-Dimensional Geometric Morphometric Analysis.
Article in Veterinary medicine and science, 2025. 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 objective of the present study was to analyse the three-dimensional shape of the cranium models of New Zealand rabbits and to determine the effects of sex on shape. To this end, a total of 12 rabbit craniums were used (six female and six male). After maceration, the craniums were scanned using a three-dimensional surface scanner to create models. The models were then marked with 23 landmarks (nine median line, 14 bilateral) using Stratovan Checkpoint software for shape analysis. Procrustes superimposition and principal component analysis were performed to determine shape variations, while Procrustes ANOVA was performed to determine dimorphic differences in size and shape. Discriminant function analysis was performed for the effect of gender on shape. The study's analysis revealed that PC1 accounted for 25.47% of the variation in principal component analysis, with this variation predominantly concentrated in the temporal region. These variations were followed by medial eye angle and incisive bone. While statistical differences in cranium shape were observed between the sexes, no significant differences in size were detected. Consequently, it was determined that gender exerts an influence on shape differences in rabbit cranium. It is hypothesised that the three-dimensional (3D) geometric morphometry method can be utilised for sex determination in rabbit craniums.
