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

backgroundGenerative AI technologies offer significant opportunities to enhance orthodontic education by improving knowledge retention, clinical decision-making, and skills training. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the impact of generative AI tools in orthodontic education, focusing on knowledge retention, decision-making, and practical skills.

methodsA comprehensive literature search was conducted across PubMed, Cochrane Library, ERIC, CINAHL, and IEEE Xplore from January 2010 to December 2023. Studies evaluating the integration of generative AI in dental and orthodontic education were included. Seventeen studies met the inclusion criteria. Risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool and the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale, with the GRADE approach used to evaluate evidence quality.

resultsGenerative AI improved knowledge retention and clinical decision-making through adaptive learning pathways and real-time feedback. Barriers included limited faculty training, technical infrastructure deficits, and educator resistance.

conclusionsGenerative AI holds transformative potential for orthodontic education but requires addressing practical and ethical challenges. Future research should focus on longitudinal studies to validate long-term impact and explore integration strategies.
