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

(1) Background: In recent years, large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT have gained significant attention in various fields, including dentistry. This scoping review aims to examine the current applications and explore potential uses of LLMs in the orthodontic domain, shedding light on how they might improve dental healthcare. (2) Methods: We carried out a comprehensive search in five electronic databases, namely PubMed, Scopus, Embase, ProQuest and Web of Science. Two authors independently screened articles and performed data extraction according to the eligibility criteria, following the PRISMA-ScR guideline. The main findings from the included articles were synthesized and analyzed in a narrative way. (3) Results: A total of 706 articles were searched, and 12 papers were eventually included. The applications of LLMs include improving diagnostic and treatment efficiency in orthodontics as well as enhancing communication with patients. (4) Conclusions: There is emerging research in countries worldwide on the use of LLMs in orthodontics, suggesting an upward trend in their acceptance within this field. However, the potential application of LLMs remains in its early stage, with a noticeable lack of extensive studies and tailored products to address specific clinical needs.
