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
Background: This study investigated the relationship between the occlusal plane and the ala-tragus lines (ATL) for restoring the upper and lower jaws and analyzed the ATL in different jaw classifications. Material and Methods: This analytical cross-sectional study included lateral cephalometric radiographs of 172 patients with teeth in a normal position. The three ATLs and the occlusal plane were delineated, and jaw classification was determined using Waits and Steiner analysis. Results: For jaw classes 1 and 2, the parallelism between the lower ATL and the occlusal plane was not statistically significant. However, for class 3 patients, significant parallelism was observed between the lower ATL and the occlusal plane, regardless of the maxillary classification. In the gender-based analysis, the parallelism between the occlusal plane and the lower ATL was significant for women. In the age-based analysis, the parallelism was significant in the age group of 15-21 years. Conclusions: These findings suggest that the lower ATL can be a reliable reference for determining the occlusal plane. The study also highlights that age and gender are important factors influencing the determination of the occlusal plane using the ATL.
