Cone-beam Computed Tomography-based Investigation of Hard Palate Morphometry in Iraqi Arab and Kurdish Populations - A Retrospective Study.
Article in Annals of maxillofacial surgery. 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
Introduction: The hard palate (HP) has clinical and anthropological significance; nevertheless, there is a paucity of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT)-derived data for Iraqi populations. The aim of this study was to assess HP linear measurements and indices in Iraqi Arabs and Kurds while exploring gender and ethnic differences as well as the gender predictive potential. Materials and Methods: Four hundred CBCT scans (200 Arabs, 200 Kurds; equal distribution of males and females) were analysed for palatal length (PL), palatal breadth (PB), palatal height (PH), palatine index (PI) and palate height index (PHI). Independent Results: Males from both ethnic groups had greater PL, PB and PH compared to females. Only PB exhibited a statistically significant difference across ethnic groups ( Discussion: Males had larger palatal dimensions in both populations. Both groups had leptostaphyline PI and orthostaphyline PHI preponderance. Palatal measures are clinically relevant for treatment planning and supportive in forensic and anthropological examinations; however, their use in sex estimate should be considered complementary rather than definitive.
