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 whether dimensional changes occur as shape distortion (unevenly), contraction or magnification (evenly) in cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) considering materials, anatomical regions and metal artefact reduction algorithms.

methodsFour cylinders of amalgam (Am), cobalt-chromium (Co-Cr), gutta-percha (Gu), titanium (Ti) and zirconium (Zi) were inserted inside a polymethylmethacrylate phantom in anterior and posterior regions for acquisitions in Picasso Trio and OP300 with MAR enabled and disabled. Two observers measured the dimensions of each cylinder in three axes: Y (height), Z (antero posterior diameter) and X (latero-lateral diameter). Repeated measures ANOVA with Tukey

resultsShape distortion occurred for all materials in anterior region of Picasso Trio without MAR (

conclusionDimensional changes of high-density materials in CBCT can be either a magnification, a contraction or a distortion; the last condition is the most prevalent. Furthermore, changes differ considering material, anatomical region and MAR condition.
