Three-Dimensional Evaluation of Temporomandibular Joint Intraosseous Distances According to Skeletal Class Using Cone Beam Computed Tomography.

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
Objective: To evaluate the relationship between sagittal temporomandibular joint (TMJ) spaces and skeletal class using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Materials and Methods: Forty-eight CBCT scans were analyzed and equally distributed among skeletal class (I, II, and III) based on the Beta angle. Anterior (AS), superior (SS), and posterior (PS) joint spaces were measured on standardized sagittal reconstructions using an Instrumentarium OP300 unit. Condylar positional patterns were analyzed according to skeletal class. Results: Significant intergroup differences in joint space measurements were identified (p < 0.05), primarily on the right side. Skeletal Class II presented the greatest dimensions (AS: 2.67 ± 1.04 mm; SS: 3.03 ± 0.98 mm; PS: 2.58 ± 0.87 mm), consistent with a more posterior and inferior condylar position. Conversely, Skeletal Class III consistently exhibited the lowest values (AS: 1.85 ± 0.65 mm; SS: 2.12 ± 0.62 mm; PS: 1.74 mm), indicating reduced joint space dimensions. Conclusion: Sagittal evaluation using CBCT revealed that skeletal class influences joint space dimensions, with larger joint space dimensions observed in Skeletal Class II patients. Bilateral variations may reflect morphological adaptations associated with skeletal patterns.
