Accuracy of triangular meshes of stone models created from DICOM cone beam CT data.
Article in International journal of implant dentistry, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundThe aim of this study was to assess the theory that CBCT scanners can be used for a subsequent triangular mesh generation which accurately represents the actual stone model. Ten, recently acquired stone models, were used in the present study. The stone models were initially scanned with the Dental Wings 7Series dental scanner. Each stone model was then scanned using a 150-μm voxel resolution in a Planmeca Mid CBCT device with 2 sets of exposure parameters and in a Newtom VG device. The DICOM files were initially imported in Blue Sky Plan implant surgery software, segmented and then imported for computational manipulation in CloudCompare, a dedicated mesh handling software.
resultsFor all CBCTs and for all exposure parameters, the mean (SD) difference was 0.052 (0.011) mm ranging from 0.032 to 0.070 mm with a 95% CI for the population mean of 0.052 ± 0.004 mm. Specifically, the mean (SD) difference for each device/exposure parameter tested was (1) Newtom VG = 0.040 (0.006) mm, (2) Planmeca Mid 90 = 0.057 (0.0066) mm, and (3) Planmeca Mid 80 = 0.059 (0.0063) mm.
conclusionsThere are differences amongst the CBCT models, whilst different exposure parameters of the same model do not seem to offer a significant advantage. The interaction between the threshold value and the imaging modality as far as the errors are concerned necessitates the careful selection of the right threshold value for the triangular mesh creation.
