Comparative Analysis of 3D Cephalometry Provided with Artificial Intelligence and Manual Tracing.
Article in Diagnostics (Basel, Switzerland), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectivesTo compare 3D cephalometric analysis performed using AI with that conducted manually by a specialist orthodontist.
methodsThe CBCT scans (a field of view of 15 × 15 cm) used in the study were obtained from 30 consecutive patients, aged 18 to 50. The 3D cephalometric analysis was conducted using two methods. The first method involved manual tracing performed with the Invivo 6 software (Anatomage Inc., Santa Clara, CA, USA). The second method involved using AI for cephalometric measurements as part of an orthodontic report generated by the Diagnocat system (Diagnocat Ltd., San Francisco, CA, USA).
resultsA statistically significant difference within one standard deviation of the parameter was found in the following measurements: SNA, SNB, and the left interincisal angle. Statistically significant differences within two standard deviations were noted in the following measurements: the right and left gonial angles, the left upper incisor, and the right lower incisor. No statistically significant differences were observed beyond two standard deviations.
conclusionsAI in the form of Diagnocat proved to be effective in assessing the mandibular growth direction, defining the skeletal class, and estimating the overbite, overjet, and Wits parameter.
