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

objectivesCone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), despite its advantages, has some drawbacks, such as artifacts and movement of the patient during scanning may lead to motion artifacts (MAs). This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the MAs in three different CBCT devices and to analyze their relationship with age, the gender of the patients, and scanning times.

methodsThis study included 360 CBCT images from three institutions scanned in standing, sitting and supine positions. MAs presence, age, gender, and scanning times were recorded. Of the patients, 129 were scanned in standing position, 131 in sitting position, and 100 in supine position.

resultsMAs were found in 6.7% of patients in total; 8%, 7.6%, and 4% in standing, sitting, and supine positions, respectively. No statistically significant relationship was observed between MAs presence and patient position. The mean age of the patients with MAs was higher than patients without, in total and in standing positions. Scanning time showed no correlation with artifact presence.

conclusionsPatient position is not related to MAs presence. The age of the patient is a factor in movement, and has a high impact in standing position. Although insignificant, MAs were less common in supine position than sitting and standing positions. Sitting and supine positioning might reduce motion artifacts in older patients.
