Reliability and repeatability of pulp volume reconstruction through three different volume calculations.
Article in The Journal of forensic odonto-stomatology, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
objectiveTo test the variability of the volume measurements when different segmentation methods are applied in pulp volume reconstruction. MATERIALS AND
methodsOsirix® and ITK-SNAP software were used. Different segmentation methods (Part A) and volume approaches (Part B) were tested in a sample of 21 dental CBCT's from upper canines. Different combinations of the data set were also tested on one lower molar and one upper canine (Part C) to determine the variability of the results when automatic segmentation is performed.
resultsAlthough the obtained results show correlation among them(r > 0.75), there is no evidence that these methods are sensitive enough to detect small volume changes in structures such as the dental pulp canal (Part A and Part B). Automatic segmentation is highly susceptible to be affected by small variations in the setting parameters (Part C).
conclusionsAlthough the volumetric reconstruction and pulp/tooth volume ratio has not shown better results than methods based on dental radiographs, it is worth to persevere with the research in this area with new development in imaging techniques.
