Viewing patterns regarding panoramic radiographs with different pathological lesions: an eye-tracking study.
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 8 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
objectiveThe aim of this study was to examine how dental students vary their viewing patterns of panoramic radiographs during different levels of dental education.
methodsTwo groups of students (total number = 48, n = 24) in different grades (second and fifth clinical semester) were compared. The second clinical semester participated twice, as during the second clinical semester a specific lecture on dental radiology and diagnosis is held. The first viewing took place at the beginning of the semester (2a), the second at the end of it (2e). The fifth semester (5e) represents students shortly before graduation. While viewing 20 panoramic radiographs showing specific pathologies, the eye movement was captured by an eye-tracker. After a maximum of 60 s per image, the students had to report a suspected diagnosis. Every panoramic radiograph included a pathological lesion which was diagnosed by an expert observer who also defined the areas of interest (AOI). The images were presented in the same order to each participant. The metric data recorded by the tracking-system included total time to first fixation, total fixation count, total gaze duration and coordinates of the fixation in and outside an area of interest. In addition, parameters like the completeness of scanning and the suspected diagnosis were analysed. Differences between the groups were assessed for statistical significance and associations between level of different grades, viewing time, completeness of scanning and correctness of diagnosis were computed.
results2e was significantly faster (
conclusionThe higher semester had a more complete viewing pattern and diagnosed correctly with a higher percentage. After hearing the mentioned lecture, the second semester scanned faster and mentioned the AOI more often but could not make a right diagnosis.
