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
Alveolar bone loss (ABL) and external cervical resorption (ECR) are destructive processes that can coexist and compromise periodontal prognosis. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), enables assessment of resorption severity and bone loss patterns, overcoming the limitations of two-dimensional radiography. This study aimed to evaluate ABL and its correlation with ECR using CBCT. This analytical, cross-sectional, observational study used images to database spanning January 2019 to April 2025, acquired with a CBCT scanner. A total of 9208 examinations were screened. After applying the inclusion criteria, 64 patients were enrolled, comprising 75 teeth diagnosed with ECR. Sociodemographic and clinical data, ECR characteristics, and ABL patterns and classification were analyzed. The findings demonstrated a statistically significant correlation between ABL and ECR according to tooth groups, with stronger associations observed in premolars and molars (10.7%), subcrestal lesion height (41.3%), and circumferential distribution 90° to 180° (44.0%). ABL was associated with age group and lesion circumferential distribution (
