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 determine the effect of different dental lab materials on cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) metal artifact at different resolutions.

methodsA total of seven common dental lab materials were molded to a dental sextant of four extracted, restored teeth. In addition to base alone (control), each material was scanned using the Carestream 9600 CBCT unit at three resolutions - 0.3 mm, 0.15 mm, and 0.075 mm - at manufacturer established exposure parameters. A single, representative axial view of each trial was evaluated for metal artifact both quantitatively by histogram analysis and qualitatively by profile plot analysis in ImageJ.

resultsNo statistically significant differences between the control and the dental materials were found; however, post-hoc tests showed significance between Blu-mousse

conclusionsThe current study provides initial evidence on the influence of dental materials have on CBCT metal artifact as described by beam hardening, photon starvation, scatter, and noise, especially at lower resolutions. Blu-Mousse
