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

We developed a clinical probe capable of acquiring simultaneous short wavelength infrared (SWIR) reflectance and occlusal transillumination images of lesions on tooth proximal and occlusal surfaces to reduce the potential of false positives. The dual probe is 3D-printed and the imaging system uses a Ge-enhanced camera and fiber-optic light sources that use SWIR light at 1300-nm for occlusal transillumination and SWIR 1450-nm light for reflectance measurements. The purpose of this study was to test the performance of the probe on extracted teeth prior to commencing clinical studies. The dual probe was used to image extracted teeth with proximal and occlusal lesions. SWIR images of each tooth were compared with micro-CT images to assess performance.
