Evaluation of soft tissues simulant materials in cone beam computed tomography.
Article in Dento maxillo facial radiology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
objectivesTo evaluate different materials in simulating soft tissues and to analyze the influence of these materials on the mean (MPIV) and standard deviation of pixel intensity values comparing them to a gold-standard in CBCT images.
methodsImages of three piglet heads with their soft tissues intact (gold-standard) and different simulant materials were acquired: ice, modelling wax, and ballistic gelatin, with the same thickness of the original soft tissues. The pixel intensities were measured in dental, bone and soft tissues regions, in the mandible and maxilla, for all the groups. Analysis of variance, Dunnet's, Pearson's and linear regression tests were performed.
resultsThe simulators did not significantly change the MPIV of teeth in comparison with the gold-standard (
conclusionsThe ballistic gelatin was the best soft tissue simulant since it had the lowest influence on the pixel intensity values for all regions.
