Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) for diagnosis and treatment planning in periodontology: systematic review update.
Synthesis in Clinical oral investigations, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 28 papers, 4 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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 update the findings of a systematic review from the year 2016 on the evidence for the accuracy and potential benefits of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) in periodontal diagnostics. MATERIAL AND
methodsA systematic literature search was performed and the criteria for PICO, PRISMA and risk of bias assessment were applied. Only clinical trials (> 10 patients) conducted in humans on periodontal bone loss, i.e. vertical and/or horizontal or furcation involvement, in CBCT compared with clinical and/or conventional radiographic measures were included.
resultsFrom 1152 articles identified, 11 case series on furcations and eight on vertical and/or horizontal bone loss were included. The studies showed moderate risk of bias and heterogeneous study designs. The agreement between non-surgical clinical or two-dimensional radiographic assessments of horizontal, vertical or interfurcal bone loss and CBCT measurements was analysed in 11 studies and was low in six studies with comparable study designs. A high accuracy (80-84%) of CBCT measurements compared with intra-surgical findings of furcation involvement was observed in four studies. Comparing CBCT with intra-surgical measurements of vertical or horizontal bone loss, an accuracy between 58 and 93% was found in four out of six studies. Three studies were analysed and indicated benefits of CBCT in decision making and/or a reduction of treatment costs and time in teeth of interest.
conclusionsThe findings provide additional evidence for the accuracy of CBCT in assessing periodontal bone loss. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: CBCT is an accurate diagnostic tool in periodontology, which needs to be carefully considered in certain situations.
