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

backgroundA comprehensive analysis of the occlusal plane (OP) inclination in predicting anteroposterior mandibular position (APMP) changes is still lacking. This study aimed to analyse the relationships between inclinations of different OPs and APMP metrics and explore the feasibility of OP inclination in predicting changes in APMP.

methodsOverall, 115 three-dimensional (3D) models were reconstructed using deep learning-based cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) segmentation, and their accuracy in supporting cusps was compared with that of intraoral scanning models. The anatomical landmarks of seven OPs and three APMP metrics were identified, and their values were measured on the sagittal reference plane. The receiver operating characteristic curves of inclinations of seven OPs in distinguishing different anteroposterior skeletal patterns and correlations between inclinations of these OPs and APMP metrics were calculated and compared. For the OP inclination with the highest area under the curve (AUC) values and correlation coefficients, the regression models between this OP inclination and APMP metrics were further calculated.

resultsThe deviations in supporting cusps between deep learning-based and intraoral scanning models were < 0.300 mm. The improved functional OP (IFOP) inclination could distinguish different skeletal classification determinations (AUC

conclusionsConstructing the OP using deep learning-based 3D models from CBCT data is feasible. IFOP inclination could be used in predicting the APMP changes. A steeper IFOP inclination corresponded to a more retrognathic mandibular posture.
