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
Introduction: Appearance-related attentional bias has been body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) and in individuals with elevated concern; however, it remains unclear whether similar attentional are observed in individuals with objectively verifiable jaw deformities. Appearance-related attentional bias has been observed across clinical populations with elevated appearance concern, highlighting its relevance as a general perceptual-cognitive mechanism associated with appearance monitoring. Methods: Sixty patients with jaw deformities and 40 age-matched completed the Body Image Concern Inventory (BICI), a validated measure of dysmorphic appearance concern, and underwent eye-while viewing photographs of self and others' faces. Gaze duration analyzed across six regions (forehead, eyes, nose, mouth, jaw, and Associations between gaze patterns and BICI scores were examined. Results: Patients exhibited significantly higher BICI scores than controls. both self- and other-face viewing, patients showed prolonged gaze region. Furthermore, exploratory correlation analyses showed that gaze positively associated with BICI scores within the patient group and other's faces. Discussion: Individuals with jaw deformities exhibit elevated dysmorphic appearance concern and increased attention to perceptually salient features. These findings characterize appearance-related attentional individuals with jaw deformities and provide insight into perceptual-processes associated with dysmorphic appearance concern.
