Precision of cone beam CT to assess periodontal bone defects: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Dento maxillo facial radiology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 papers, 6 of them syntheses 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
objectivesEvaluate the diagnostic validity of CBCT in measuring periodontal bone defects when compared with the reference standard (in situ measurement).
methodsStudies in which the main objective was to evaluate the diagnostic validity of CBCT in measuring periodontal bone defects when compared with the reference standard were selected. Four databases were searched. The studies were selected by two independent reviewers. The methodology of selected studies was assessed using the 14-item Quality Assessment Tool for Diagnostic Accuracy Studies. The quality of evidence and strength of recommendation was assessed by The Grading of Recommendations Assessment Tool, Development and Evaluation.
resultsUsing a selection process in two phases, 16 studies were identified and, in seven articles meta-analysis was performed. The results from these meta-analyses showed that no difference between the measurements of CBCT and in situ for alveolar bone loss, and demonstrated a concordance of 82.82% between CBCT and in situ for the classification of the degree of furcation involvement.
conclusionsBased on a moderate level of evidence, CBCT could be useful for furcation involvement periodontal cases, but it should only be used in cases where clinical evaluation and conventional radiographic imaging do not provide the information necessary for an adequate diagnosis and proper periodontal treatment planning.
