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

COVID-19, the most recent and globally impactful zoonotic viral pandemic in the last 20 years, has now entered its third year. As the global dental profession returns to providing as full a range of services as possible, in addition to embedding the new infection-control processes that were developed for this pandemic, it should also take full advantage of digital conventional radiology (intraoral, extraoral, and panoramic radiography) and cone-beam computed tomography. Regardless of vaccinations, new or yet-to-manifest variants, and testing, some dentists may be working in communities where the asymptomatic but potentially infectious patient poses a real risk. This needs to be met with not only the whole COVID-19 panoply the dentist is already too familiar with but also the need to minimise aerosol generation production by dental radiography. A flowchart and a table that compares the attributes of the above modalities are included.
