1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Pycnodysostosis refers to an uncommon autosomal recessive developmental anomaly, which results in decreased bone remodeling, manifesting itself in a variety of clinical and radiographic displays. We report two cases involving two sisters aged 12.5 and 8 years old from a consanguineous marriage. Both presented with distinctive manifestations of the syndrome and were observed at the Dental Consultation and Treatment Center of Ibn Sina Hospital in Rabat. They presented pathognomonic features of the disorder, including short stature, beaked nose, brachydactyly, obtuse mandibular gonial angle and acro-osteolysis of the distal phalanges. This case report is aimed at highlighting these features, in particular the craniofacial and dental characteristics that help in diagnosing this genetic disorder and to emphasize the role of the dentist in this process.
