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

The interpretation of the signs of Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) osteoarthritis on cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is highly subjective that hinders the diagnostic process. The objectives of this study were to develop and test the performance of an artificial intelligence (AI) model for the diagnosis of TMJ osteoarthritis from CBCT. A total of 2737 CBCT images from 943 patients were used for the training and validation of the AI model. The model was based on a single convolutional network while object detection was achieved using a single regression model. Two experienced evaluators performed a Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (DC/TMD)-based assessment to generate a separate model-testing set of 350 images in which the concluded diagnosis was considered the golden reference. The diagnostic performance of the model was then compared to an experienced oral radiologist. The AI diagnosis showed statistically higher agreement with the golden reference compared to the radiologist. Cohen's kappa showed statistically significant differences in the agreement between the AI and the radiologist with the golden reference for the diagnosis of all signs collectively (P = 0.0079) and for subcortical cysts (P = 0.0214). AI is expected to eliminate the subjectivity associated with the human interpretation and expedite the diagnostic process of TMJ osteoarthritis.
