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

Dental radiography is an essential tool in endodontics for determination of diagnosis, treatment planning and monitoring of treatment outcome. Conventional two-dimensional imaging remains the most commonly used and the standard method of radiographic imaging in endodontics due to accessibility and low radiation exposure. The use of cone beam computed tomography is increasing worldwide due to the benefits of three-dimensional visualisation of the teeth under investigation and surrounding structures. Its use, however, should be considered on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration the benefits and increased dose of radiation in line with published guidelines.
