Anthropometric measurements of alar cartilage in the Turkish population sample: a comparative study.

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
purposeAlar cartilage anatomy varies significantly across ethnic groups, and understanding these differences is crucial in nasal tip surgery. The aim of this descriptive study was to evaluate the anthropometric properties of the alar cartilage in the Turkish population sample and to compare these data with findings from various other ethnic groups.
methodsLength, width, and thickness measurements were taken from 92 Turkish patients who underwent primary open rhinoplasty. These measurements included the maximum values for each of the lateral crus, middle crus, medial crus and the medial, middle, lateral distances between the caudal border of the lateral crus and the alar rim. The resulting data were statistically analyzed, and comparisons were made between genders and with findings from various ethnic groups.
resultsAll measurements of the lateral crus, the length and thickness measurements of the middle crus, and the thickness measurements of the medial crus were found to be significantly greater in males (p < 0.002). It was found that the lengths of the lateral, middle, and medial crura were statistically significantly longer on the left side (p < 0.002). It was observed that in the Turkish population sample, the alar cartilages are generally long and wide, but thin, and the average distances between the caudal border of the lateral crus and the alar rim were moderate.
conclusionThis study presents baseline anthropometric data for the Turkish alar cartilage. Comparative analysis with other ethnic groups revealed both similarities and distinct differences. Acknowledging these specific ethnic differences is essential for preoperative planning.
