Anthropometrical measurements of external ear between normal and diabetic patients.
Article in Bioinformation, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Although external ear anthropometry is a cornerstone of forensic and reconstructive science, the morphological impact of systemic metabolic disorders remains unexplored. Therefore, it is of interest to compare bilateral external ear measurements between diabetic and healthy individuals to determine if chronic hyperglycemia significantly influences soft tissue morphology. Anthropometric data were collected from both cohorts and categorized by sex to evaluate symmetry and quantify deviations in ear dimensions. Thus, we show that right ear measurements were consistently larger than those of the left ear in both groups, with diabetic patients exhibiting statistically significant differences in specific morphological parameters compared to the control group. In each group, the measurements of the right ear for men and women were larger than those of the left ear, and there were significant differences in anthropometric measurements.
