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

Artificial intelligence has been applied to medical diagnosis and decision-making but it has not been used for classification of Class III malocclusions in children.

objectiveThis study aims to propose an innovative machine learning (ML)-based diagnostic model for automatically classifies dental, skeletal and functional Class III malocclusions.

methodsThe collected data related to 46 cephalometric feature measurements from 4-14-year-old children (

resultsThe top five models ranked by their area under the curve (AUC) values were: GPR (0.879), RBF SVM (0.876), QDA (0.876), Linear SVM (0.875) and L2 logistic (0.869). The DeLong test showed no statistical difference between GPR and the other models (

conclusionsOur findings suggest that ML models based on cephalometric data could effectively assist dentists to classify dental, functional and skeletal Class III malocclusions in children. In addition, features such as SN_GoMe, U1_NA and Overjet can as important indicators for predicting the severity of Class III malocclusions.
