Review in Dento maxillo facial radiology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06967090 (Accuracy of Guided Implant Placement Using Artificial Intelligence Segmentation Versus Conventional Technique), which is not on this map. Cited by 15 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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.

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.

Abstract

Computer-assisted surgery (CAS) allows clinicians to personalize treatments and surgical interventions and has therefore become an increasingly popular treatment modality in maxillofacial surgery. The current maxillofacial CAS consists of three main steps: (1) CT image reconstruction, (2) bone segmentation, and (3) surgical planning. However, each of these three steps can introduce errors that can heavily affect the treatment outcome. As a consequence, tedious and time-consuming manual post-processing is often necessary to ensure that each step is performed adequately. One way to overcome this issue is by developing and implementing neural networks (NNs) within the maxillofacial CAS workflow. These learning algorithms can be trained to perform specific tasks without the need for explicitly defined rules. In recent years, an extremely large number of novel NN approaches have been proposed for a wide variety of applications, which makes it a difficult task to keep up with all relevant developments. This study therefore aimed to summarize and review all relevant NN approaches applied for CT image reconstruction, bone segmentation, and surgical planning. After full text screening, 76 publications were identified: 32 focusing on CT image reconstruction, 33 focusing on bone segmentation and 11 focusing on surgical planning. Generally, convolutional NNs were most widely used in the identified studies, although the multilayer perceptron was most commonly applied in surgical planning tasks. Moreover, the drawbacks of current approaches and promising research avenues are discussed.
