Can diagnostic changes caused by cone beam computed tomography alter the clinical decision in impacted lower third molar treatment plan?
Article in Dento maxillo facial radiology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
objectivesThis study observed whether changes in diagnosis caused by analysis of three-dimensional images can lead to alterations in the treatment plans of impacted lower third molars (ILTMs).
methodsSets of panoramic (PAN) - cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) of 218 patients were assessed for ILTM classification, contact with mandibular canal, contact and resorption of the lower second molar (LSM), intraoperative planning and post-operative expectations.
resultsPercentage agreement and McNemar test compared PAN
conclusionsWe concluded that changes in the diagnosis after CBCT examination can lead to alterations in the treatment plan of impacted lower third molar.
