Stature and sex estimation auricular morphometry and morphology.
Article in Bioinformation, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
External ear morphometry is increasingly explored for forensic identification because ear dimensions show population variation and sexual dimorphism, requiring region-specific reference data. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 200 Central Indian adults (18-30 years) to assess external ear morphometry, morphology and sexual dimorphism and to explore relevance for identification purposes. Bilateral ear and lobular measurements were taken using a digital Vernier caliper and stature/weight was recorded using standard instruments. Males had significantly higher mean stature and weight than females. Ear length, ear width and lobule width were significantly greater in males on both sides, while ear index, lobule height and lobule index did not differ significantly by sex; oval ear shape predominated and Darwin's tubercle showed a significant sex difference only on the right side.
