Cephalometric Assessment in Nonsyndromic Microtia Patients: Cross-Sectional Study with Comparison Group.

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
aimsTo assess and compare the cephalometric characteristics of patients with nonsyndromic microtia. METHODS AND
resultsThis cross-sectional comparative study evaluated the cephalometric characteristics of 16 patients with nonsyndromic microtia and 48 patients without microtia (n = 48). A retrospective analysis was performed using lateral cephalograms, orthopantomograms, dental casts, facial photographs, and intraoral photographs. ANB (p = 0.044), FMA (p < 0.001), SN.GoGn (p = 0.003), Y-axis (p = 0.024), LAFH (p < 0.001), and 1-NB (p = 0.014) were higher in the microtia group, whereas 1.NA (p = 0.018) and IMPA (p = 0.029) were lower relative to controls. Twelve patients had deviation of the mandibular midline to the microtia side; one patient had left-sided microtia and deviation of the midline to the right side, and three patients did not exhibit mandibular midline deviation.
conclusionPatients with microtia showed prevalence of a Class II skeletal and dolichocephalic pattern, predisposition to upper incisor movement in the vertical direction, and lower incisor protrusion. In addition, they showed a tendency toward deviation of the lower midline to the affected side.
