Effect of metal artifact removal modes on the accuracy of linear measurement around titanium implants by applying different voltages: an original article.
Article in BMC medical imaging, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundThis study aims to evaluate the effects of the artifact removal algorithm on linear measurements of the buccal cortical plate by altering the voltage.
methodsTen titanium fixtures were inserted at the site of central, lateral, canine, premolars and molars of dry human mandibles. Vertical height of buccal plate was measured using a digital caliper as a gold standard. Mandibles were scanned with 54 and 58 kVp. Other parameters were constant. Images were reconstructed with none, low, medium and high artifact removal modes. Two Oromaxillofacial radiologists evaluated and measured the buccal plate height using Romexis software. Statistical package for the social sciences (SPSS) version 24 was used for data analysis.
resultsIn medium and high modes, the difference between 54 and 58 kVp was significant (p < 0.001). No significance was noted by using low ARM (artifact removal mode) at the 54 kVp and 58 kVp.
conclusionUsing artifact removal in low voltage decreases the accuracy of linear measurement and buccal crest visibility. By using high voltage, artifact removal would have no significant effect on accuracy of linear measurements.
