Reducing metal artifacts between implants in cone-beam CT by adjusting angular position of the subject.
Article in Oral radiology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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 reduce inter-implant metal artifacts in cone-beam CT (CBCT) imaging by adjusting angular position of the subject relative to the source-detector plane. MATERIALS AND
methodsTwo dental implants were placed in a block made of homogeneous dental impression material. Using a custom-made apparatus, the specimen was scanned with a CBCT machine at seven different angles (0°, 15°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 75°, and 90°) along three different spatial axes, yielding 21 experimental groups. Thirteen volumes of interest (VOI) including inter- and peri-implant areas were selected from each axial reconstruction perpendicular to the implants. Gray values (GVs) of each pixel within these VOIs were measured. Mean differences in GV (ΔGV) between the VOIs and control area were calculated and expressed as a percentage. These ΔGVs from different spatial angle were compared and analyzed by Welch's analysis of variance (ANOVA) and linear regression using SPSS 25.0 software.
resultsAs alpha angle increased, the ΔGV of the inter-implant area increased from - 62.02% to near-zero while the standard deviation decreased. Welch's ANOVA and linear regression analysis revealed ΔGV increased significantly with alpha angle (p < 0.001, R
conclusionsIncreasing the alpha angle can reduce metal artifacts in the inter-implant area in CBCT images.
