Evaluation of the prevalence and morphometric characteristics of coronoid foramen by cone beam computed tomography.
Article in BMC oral health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveWith the development of radiographic imaging techniques along with the science of anatomy, an anatomical variation called the coronoid foramen has been identified in the jawbone. This foramen is an important structure because it contains neurovascular structures and may play a role in the spread of jaw tumors. This study aimed to determine the incidence of the coronoid foramen and to evaluate its anatomical and morphometric features using cone beam computed tomography in patients admitted to a dental school. MATERIALS AND
methodsIn this study, CBCT images obtained for various reasons between 2016 and 2022 were retrospectively evaluated. Out of a total of 12,425 images, 3,487 CBCT scans that met the inclusion criteria were included. in the study. The coronoid foramen detected in the coronoid process was classified based on localization as unilateral right, unilateral left, or bilateral; based on number as single or multiple; and based on position as antero-inferior, central, coronoid base, or postero-superior. The opening site was also categorized according to buccolingual, lingual, buccal, and anterior surfaces. The largest diameter of each foramen was measured.
results55.1% of the patients were female and 44.9% were male, with a mean age of 35.25 years. The coronoid foramen was identified in 12.7% of the cases. 4% of the foramens were seen unilateral on the right side, 2.9% on the left side and 5.8% were seen bilaterally. 10.7% of the patients had a single foramen and 2% had multiple foramina. Most of the unilateral right and left foramens were localized centrally, while the majority of bilateral foramens were located in the coronoid base. The coronoid foramens in the anterior-inferior and posterior-superior positions were smaller than the coronoid foramens in the central and coronoid base positions.
conclusionThe coronoid foramen is an important structure and should be considered during diagnosis and treatment.
