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

A novel algorithm for generating artificial training samples from triangulated three-dimensional (3D) surface models within the context of dental implant recognition is proposed. The proposed algorithm is based on the calculation of two-dimensional (2D) projections (from a number of different angles) of 3D volumetric representations of computer-aided design (CAD) surface models. A fully convolutional network (FCN) is subsequently trained on the artificially generated X-ray images for the purpose of automatically identifying the connection type associated with a specific dental implant in an actual X-ray image. Semi-automated and fully automated systems are proposed for segmenting questioned dental implants from the background in actual X-ray images. Within the context of the semi-automated system, suitable regions of interest (ROIs), which contain the dental implants, are manually specified. However, as part of the fully automated system, suitable ROIs are automatically detected. It is demonstrated that a segmentation/detection accuracy of 94.0% and a classification/recognition accuracy of 71.7% are attainable within the context of the proposed fully automated system. Since the proposed systems utilise an ensemble of techniques that has not been employed for the purpose of dental implant classification/recognition on any previous occasion, the above-mentioned results are very encouraging.
