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: The primary aim of this study was to compare palate depth and nasal septum deviation between patients with unilateral and bilateral buccal and palatal impactions of maxillary canines and those without impaction. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study examined CBCT images of 60 patients from a private radiology archive, divided into four subgroups of 10 patients each with unilateral or bilateral buccal and palatal impactions, and a control group of 20 patients without impaction. Nasal deviation was assessed by measuring the distance of the maximum convexity of the deviated septum from the midsagittal plane in the coronal CBCT cut. Palate depth (PD) was measured as the perpendicular line from the middle of the axis connecting the mesiopalatal cusp of the first molar to the hard palate. Measurements were performed using NNT 16.3.1 software and validated by radiology and orthodontics specialists. Independent t-tests were used for statistical comparisons. Results: There were no significant differences in palate depth (p 0.05) or nasal septum deviation (P 0.05) between the control group and patients with unilateral or bilateral buccal and palatal impactions of maxillary canines. Conclusion: The study found no significant differences in palate depth and nasal septum deviation between patients with and without maxillary canine impaction, suggesting that impaction does not significantly affect these anatomical features. Further research is recommended to explore these findings in larger populations.
