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
Aim: The greater palatine foramen (GPF) transmits the greater palatine neurovascular bundle, and its position and shape directly affect palatal anesthesia, palatal surgery, and graft harvesting. This study aimed to evaluate variations in the location and morphology of the GPF across different sagittal maxillary growth patterns in an Iranian adult sample. Methods: Sixty cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans were analyzed (20 per Sella-Nasion-A (SNA) angle: deficient, normal, excessive). GPF shape, location relative to the molar teeth, its position with respect to adjacent structures (including distances to the alveolar ridge, mid-palatal suture, contralateral GPF, and incisive foramen [IF]), and the angle between the mid-palatal suture, IF midpoint, and GPF midpoint were assessed and compared among the three sagittal maxillary growth patterns. Results: The GPF-IF distance differed significantly between sagittal groups (right: Conclusion: In this Iranian adult sample sagittal maxillary growth pattern is associated with variations in GPF-IF distance and its anteroposterior position relative to molars; these should be considered during palatal anesthesia and surgical planning. Further clinical correlation is warranted.
