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

Background: This study aimed to define the relation between posture and dimension of the tongue and different skeletal patterns in sagittal and vertical dimensions through cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Method: CBCT images of 225 patients (149 females and 76 males) with a mean age of 33 years were included in this retrospective study. The sample was divided into three groups: class I (100 patients), class II (100 patients), and class III (25 patients). For each sample, tongue length (TGL) and tongue height (TGH) along with its position were evaluated. For statistical analysis, one-way ANOVA, Tukey HSD, Welch's Results: The mean TGH was significantly greater in the class III group compared to class I ( Conclusion: The TGL was greater in class II patients, and the TGH was greater in class III patients. Also, class II patients had higher tongue posture compared to class I and III groups. Furthermore, vertical pattern had no significant influence on tongue position and dimension.
