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

backgroundThis study aimed to assess the effect of exposure parameters such as milliampere (mA) and field of view (FOV) of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) on a metal artifact of dental implants placed in different bone densities.

methodsA total of 27 bone blocks with different densities (nine were type 1, nine were types 2 and 3, and nine were type 4) were used in this in vitro, experimental study. These blocks were placed in mandibular wax models. The blocks were scanned after drilling (hole preparation) and after implant placement using Cranex3D imaging system with a 4 × 6 cm

resultsIn general, irrespective of bone density, the amount of artifacts was lower in small FOV compared to large FOV (P < 0.05). Change of mA had no effect on metal artifacts (P > 0.05). Artifacts in type 4 bone were greater than in other bone types (P < 0.05). Difference between type 1 and types 2 and 3 was not significant (P > 0.05).

conclusionAccording to the results of this study, Peri-implant artifacts were seen in all bone types; the amount of artifacts in type 4 bone was higher than that in other types. Size of FOV and bone density affect the metal artifacts around dental implants; so that a smaller FOV can be used to decrease metal artifacts.
