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

introductionTooth extraction is one of the clinical internship requirements in Japan. Human posture during tooth extraction is important since poor posture can cause failure of the safe operation and musculoskeletal injuries. Only a few studies aimed to evaluate the posture, but most of them used manual or complex measurement methods which can lead to some inconvenient problems such as subjective biases, quantitativeness, and device availability. Thanks to the recent advancement of computer vision and technology, pose estimation has been widely used for kinematic analysis. However, none of the research has been used for posture analysis during tooth extraction.

aimTherefore, this research aims to analyze posture kinematics during tooth extraction using pose estimation and find key kinematic variables for tooth extraction.

methodAll participants were grouped into three; dental students, young dentists, and experienced dentists. They were asked to perform tooth extraction on a tooth extraction simulator while being video recorded. Pose estimation was used to extract joint locations on recorded videos. Joint angles of interest were calculated based on the extracted joint locations.

resultsRight shoulder angles were significantly lower in the experienced dentists' group than in other groups, DISCUSSION: Which has been pointed out by other research as a crucial point.

conclusionAlthough sample size is a main concern in this study, the result shows that pose estimation can be useful in posture analysis during tooth extraction.
