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

objectivesTo assess quantitatively the combined effect of exomass-related- and motion artefacts on voxel value parameters in cone beam CT (CBCT).

methodsA cylindrical phantom was manufactured, containing 21 tubes filled with a radiopaque solution, allowing the inclusion of three titanium implants in the periphery to induce exomass-related artefacts. The phantom was mounted on a robot simulating 0.75-, 1.5-, and 3 mm movements (nodding/lateral rotation/tremor). CBCT images with/without exomass and with/without movements were acquired in duplicate in three units: Cranex 3Dx, Orthophos SL-3D, and X1 (with motion-artefact correction). A cylindrical volume of interest was defined in each tube and voxel value mean and standard deviation were assessed. For each CBCT volume, the 21 mean voxel values were averaged providing the overall mean voxel value (MVV), and the standard deviation (among the 21 values) was calculated providing overall voxel value inhomogeneity (VVI). The standard deviation from each of the 21 volumes-of-interest were averaged, providing overall image noise (IN). The effect of the diverse tested situations was inferred from a repeated-measures analysis of variance, followed by Sidak's test (

resultsOverall, images acquired with exomass showed significantly (

conclusionsCBCT voxel-value parameters are altered by exomass-related artefacts, and this finding is aggravated in the presence of motion artefacts. Motion-artefact correction effectively eliminated the deleterious impact of movement.
