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

backgroundBeam hardening and scattering artifacts from high-density objects such as dental implants adversely affect the image quality and subsequently the detection of fenestration or dehiscence around dental implants.

objectiveThis study aimed to assess the efficacy of metal artifact reduction (MAR) algorithm of two cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) systems for detection of peri-implant fenestration and dehiscence. MATERIAL AND

methodsIn this experimental study, thirty-six titanium implants were placed in bone blocks of bovine ribs. Fenestration and dehiscence were created in the buccal bone around implants. CBCT images were obtained using Cranex 3D and ProMax 3D CBCT systems with and without MAR algorithm. Two experienced radiologists observed the images. Data were analyzed using SPSS software. The Kappa coefficient of agreement, the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of different imaging modalities were calculated and analyzed.

resultsIn both CBCT systems, the use of MAR algorithm decreased the area under the ROC curve and subsequently the diagnostic accuracy for the detection of fenestration and dehiscence. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of both CBCT systems were higher in absence of the MAR algorithm. The specificity of ProMax 3D for detection of fenestration was equal with/without the MAR algorithm.

conclusionAlthough CBCT is suitable for detection of peri-implant defects, the application of the MAR algorithm does not enhance the detection of peri-implant fenestration and dehiscence.
