Cone beam CT optimisation for detection of vertical root fracture with metal in the field of view or the exomass.
Article in Scientific reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
Dose optimisation has been revisited in the literature due to the frequent use of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Although the reduction of the field-of-view (FOV) size has shown to be an effective strategy, this indirectly increases the negative effect from the exomass. The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of an optimised CBCT protocol in the detection of simulated vertical root fracture (VRF) in the presence of metal in the exomass and/or inside the FOV. Twenty teeth were endodontically instrumented and VRF was induced in half of them. All teeth were individually placed in a human mandible covered with a soft tissue equivalent material, metallic materials were placed at different dispositions in the exomass and/or endomass, and CBCT scans were obtained at two dose protocols: standard and optimised. Five radiologists evaluated the images and indicated the presence of VRF using a 5-point scale. Area under the ROC curve (AUC), sensitivity, and specificity were calculated and compared using ANOVA (α = 0.05). Overall, AUC, sensitivity, and specificity did not differ significantly (p > 0.05) between the dose protocols. In conclusion, optimised dose protocols should be considered in the detection of simulated VRF irrespective of the occurrence of artefacts from metallic materials in the exomass and/or inside the FOV.
