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

objectivesThis study aimed to investigate the morphological characteristics of the coronoid process (CP) and condyle in patients with long-face morphology (LF) and evaluate their correlations, aiming to identify potential morphological predictors for clinical diagnosis and treatment planning. MATERIALS AND

methodsThis retrospective study analyzed cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) data from 68 LF patients and 69 control subjects. Nineteen parameters of the CP and condyle were evaluated in three dimensions, encompassing length, angle, curvature, and volume. Statistical analyses included chi-square and t-tests for group comparisons. Stepwise binary logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis were implemented to identify and validate independent predictors of LF. Relationships between CP and condylar parameters were examined using Pearson or Spearman correlation analyses. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was utilized to assess intraexaminer reliability.

resultsThe analysis revealed significant differences in width of the articular fossa (AFW), condylar anteroposterior diameter (CAD) and coronoid parameters between the LF and control groups (P < 0.05). Logistic regression identified coronoid volume (OR = 0.979, 95% CI 0.97-0.99), the sagittal coronoid angle (OR = 1.339, 95% CI 1.18-1.52), the anterior distance to the CP apex (OR = 0.70, 95% CI 0.55-0.92), the coronal coronoid angle (OR = 0.731, 95% CI 0.60-0.90), and the coronoid base length (OR = 2.747, 95% CI 1.86-4.05) as independent predictors of LF. Significant correlations were identified between the sagittal condylar parameters and multiple coronoid parameters (P < 0.05).

conclusionLF patients demonstrate distinct morphological alterations in both the CP and condyle. The dimensions and angular characteristics of the CP may function as auxiliary indicators for early identification and treatment planning in patients with LF morphology.
