Application of Strain Elastography in Dentistry: A Systematic Review.
Review in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Strain elastography, a non-invasive imaging technique complements traditional diagnostic methods by offering quantitative and qualitative information about soft and hard tissues within the oral cavity. The article aimed to provide an overview of the currently available data on the use of strain elastography in dentistry. To support the review of strain elastography applications in dentistry, a wide range of articles was searched using both online and offline databases. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were defined according to the Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcomes, and Study Design (PICOS) approach. The results show that 12 of the 107 papers found to be eligible for inclusion in a qualitative examination of the use of strain elastography in dentistry satisfied the PICOS criteria. Elastography is a promising tool for diagnosing various dental diseased conditions, but sufficient evidence is not available. More studies on a larger population should be performed to determine its accuracy in diagnosis.
