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

This study aimed to evaluate the topographic anatomy of the infraorbital and supraorbital foramina in four cattle breeds: Holstein (H), Simmental (S), Eastern Anatolian Red (D), and Southeastern Anatolian Red (G). The objective was to identify breed-related anatomical differences that may assist in clinical procedures such as regional nerve blocks. A total of 92 adult cattle skulls were examined. Six measurements were recorded around the infraorbital and supraorbital regions, including infraorbital foramen height (IOFH), infraorbital foramen width (IOFW), distance from the facial tuberosity to the infraorbital foramen (FTIOF), infraorbital foramen to the root of the alveolar tooth (IFRAT), dorsal margin of the orbit to the supraorbital groove (DMOSG), and supraorbital groove to the supraorbital foramen (SGSOF). One-way analysis of variance and Tukey post hoc tests were used to assess statistical differences among breeds. All measured parameters showed statistically significant differences among the breeds. Non-native breeds such as Holstein and Simmental have higher average values in most measurements compared to native breeds like East Anatolian Red and Southeast Anatolian Red. The greatest interbreed variation occurred in SGSOF (52.45 ± 1.80 mm) and FTIOF (55.96 ± 5.16 mm), with Holstein showing the highest measurements. By demonstrating that the dimensions and spatial relationships of the infraorbital and supraorbital foramina vary significantly across breeds, this study provides breed-specific morphometric data that can enhance the precision of regional anaesthesia and improve the safety of surgical procedures in veterinary practice.
