Three-dimensional evaluation of anterior parameters and palatal height index in obstructive sleep apnea adults using cone beam computed tomography: A Case control study.
Article in Journal of orthodontic science, 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
purposeThe aim of the study was to compare the anterior parameters and the palatal height index (PHI) in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients and control subjects, using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). MATERIALS AND
methodsThe CBCT data of 30 male OSA patient diagnosed with polysomnography and 30 male control subjects with no sleeping disorders were analyzed using the software 3D Slicer. The head position during the scan was similar in both groups. The anterior parameters (overjet and overbite) and the PHI were calculated. Independent samples T-test was used to identify statistically significant differences between the means of two independent groups. Chi-square test was used to assess relationship between categorical variables. A
resultsThe mean value of PHI was lower in the OSA group (
conclusionThe anterior parameters did not show significant differences between the groups. However, the OSA group have a significantly lower mean PHI than the control group.
