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
Background: Palatal rugae are unique anatomical landmarks that remain stable over time, making them a valuable tool in forensic odontology. However, the impact of prosthetic rehabilitation, particularly complete dentures and dental implants, on rugae morphology remains a subject of study. This research aims to compare palatal rugae patterns in dentate individuals, denture wearers, and implant users to assess their significance in forensic identification. Methods: A comparative study was conducted on 60 individuals divided into three groups: dentate individuals, complete denture wearers, and implant users. Rugae patterns were analyzed using digital scanning, and statistical comparisons were made. Results: Significant alterations in rugae morphology were observed in denture users ( Conclusion: Palatal rugae remain a reliable forensic marker in implant users, but complete dentures may alter identification accuracy.
