A miniaturized ultrasound transducer for monitoring full-mouth oral health: a preliminary study.
Article in Dento maxillo facial radiology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveTo customize a miniaturized ultrasound transducer to access full-mouth B-mode, color Doppler, and spectral Doppler imaging for monitoring oral health.
methodsA customized periodontal ultrasound transducer SS-19-128 (19 MHz, 128 channels) 1.8-cm wide and 1-cm thick was developed and connected to a data acquisition (DAQ) system. B-mode, color Doppler, and spectral Doppler data could all be collected with SS-19-128. The imaging resolution and penetration capacity of SS-19-128 were characterized on phantoms. The gingival thickness was measured on 11 swine teeth by SS-19-128 for comparison with conventional transgingival probing via Bland-Altman analysis and Pearson correlation. Five human subjects were then recruited to demonstrate B-mode and Doppler imaging by SS-19-128.
resultsThe axial and lateral spatial resolution at 5.5 mm depth is 102.1 µm and 142.9 µm, respectively. The penetration depth in a tissue-mimicking phantom is over 30 mm.
conclusionsThe small size of SS-19-128 offers important advantages over existing ultrasound technology-more specifically, whole-mouth scanning/charting reminiscent of radiography. This is nearly a two-fold increase in the number of teeth that can be assessed versus conventional transducers.
