Integrating digital smile design into restorative Dentistry: A narrative review of the applications and benefits.
Review in The Saudi dental journal, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
The primary goal of esthetic treatment is to ensure patient satisfaction and meet their expectations of improving their facial esthetics and smile. However, some patients may have doubts regarding the irreversible nature of the treatment. In such cases, the Digital Smile Designing (DSD) technique can be employed to educate and motivate patients. DSD is a technical tool that allows digital designing and modification of a patient's smile, enabling them to visualize the potential outcomes before the actual treatment begins. This technique facilitates visual communication and patient involvement in the smile design process, leading to predictable treatment results and higher acceptance rates. This article provides an overview of DSD in esthetic dental practice and discusses its applications, advantages, limitations, and future possibilities.
