Gonial and Antigonial Radiomorphometric Indices in Detecting Low Bone Mineral Density among Aged Women: A Multicentric Pilot Study.
Article in Contemporary clinical dentistry. 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
Background: Osteoporosis places a significant strain on the healthcare system and contributes significantly to morbidity and mortality. Digital panoramic radiographs, which are typically taken for routine dental examinations, are quite useful for spotting early low mineral density changes. Aim: The aim of the study was to assess the diagnostic efficiency of gonial and antigonial radiographic indices in identifying low bone mineral density in aged women. Materials and Methods: A total of 800 panoramic radiographs were assessed from the archives, and 118 radiographic images among controls and study groups were included. Radiomorphometric indicators such as gonial angle (GA), gonial index (GI), antigonial angle (AA), antigonial depth (AD), and antigonial index (AI) were studied. Results: A statistically significant higher GA, GI, AA, AD, and AI among control groups were evident compared to study groups. Conclusion: In screening for early osteoporotic alterations, all indices evaluated in the present study can be used as radiographic screening methods to identify low bone mineral density among aged women. Novelty: The study attempted to evaluate the GA, GI, AA, AD, and AI of the mandible in orthopantomography individually for normal and aged women. Hence, they can be used as an opportunistic screening tool.
