Craniofacial morphology in Obstructive Sleep Apnea patients.
Article in Journal of clinical and experimental dentistry, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
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
Background: To evaluate the correlation between cephalometric skeletal parameters and Obstructive Sleep Apnea syndrome (OSAs) severity, in adult patients with OSAs. Material and Methods: One hundred patients (94 males,6 females mean age 59,3) with diagnosis of OSAs were retrospectively enrolled. Each patient received Home Sleep Apnea Testing (HSAT) and latero-lateral radiograph. Eight cephalometric parameters (cranial deflection angle, saddle angle, articular angle, divergence angle, cranial base angle, skull base length, mandibular length, maxilla length) were analyzed and then related to Apnea/Hypopnea Index (AHI) and to the Oxygen Desaturation Index (ODI), recorded by HSAT. A Spearman's rho correlation test between cephalometric measurements and HSAT indices was performed. Statistical significance was set at Results: A negative statistically significant correlation was found between mandibular length (Condilion-Gnathion distance) and AHI (rho= -0,2022; Conclusions: The OSAs severity may be related to certain predisposing features in craniofacial morphology, such as maxillary and mandibular length, divergence and cranial deflection.
