1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

objectivesTo compare the performance of panoramic radiography (PAN) and cone beam CT (CBCT) in the detection of juxta-apical radiolucency (JAR), as well as to investigate, in CBCT images, if there are factors associated with the detection of JAR on PAN.

methodsTwo oral radiologists assessed the presence of JAR in PAN and CBCT images of 175 individuals (308 mandibular third molars). The cortical plates involvement and the JAR size and location were assessed on CBCT to evaluate if these factors were related to JAR detection on PAN. McNemar's test and multiple logistic regression were performed.

resultsPAN and CBCT differed significantly in the detection of JAR (p = 0.001). On PAN, JAR was identified on 24% of the patients while on CBCT its detection increased to 32.6%. JAR was detected only on CBCT and only on PAN in 26 and 7 cases, respectively. Distal/mesial surfaces of dental roots were where JAR was mostly located (84.5%), cortical thinning was found in 59.2% of cases and the mean (SD) of JAR size was 5.03 (±1.8) mm. However, these factors were not associated with JAR detection on PAN (p > 0.05). On the other hand, the location of the cortical involvement (if buccal or lingual) was associated with JAR detection on PAN, which was more detectable when the thinning was on buccal cortical.

conclusionsJuxta-apical radiolucency is more often detected on CBCT than on PAN. JAR detection on PAN was improved when it was related to the buccal cortical plate of the mandible.
