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

purposeMandibular hypomobility is a condition in which the jaw joint is restricted due to various causes, including temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD), ankylosis, head and neck infections and tumors, coronoid processes hyperplasia (CPH), and trismus. The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between the coronoid processes (CP) of patients diagnosed with CPH and other anatomical structures and to investigate how this affects temporomandibular hypomobility.

methodsThe study included cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images of 10 patients diagnosed with mandibular hypomobility due to bilateral CPH and 30 healthy individuals who underwent CBCT for other reasons (implant placement, impacted teeth, etc.). CBCT sections were used to measure condyle length (H1), CP length (H2), CP length over the zygomatic arch (H3), ramus length (H4), horizontal distance between CP and zygomatic arch (D), and the angle between CP and the mandibular plane (MP).

resultsA statistically significant difference was found between the mean Cr-MP angles on the right and left sides in the study group (p = 0.031). Significant differences were observed between the study and control groups in H2, H2/H1, H3, H3/H2, H2/H4, and D distance measurements (p < 0.001). Additionally, a significant difference in the CP-MP angle was found between the groups (p = 0.003).

conclusionsOur study demonstrates that, in addition to CP length, factors such as the H2/H1 ratio, CP-MP angle, D distance, and H3 also influence mouth opening restriction.
