Diagnostic Accuracy of Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) in Identifying Periapical Lesions: A Comparative Study with Conventional Radiography.

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
Introduction: Periapical lesions are a common clinical finding, often detected through imaging techniques such as conventional radiography (CR) and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). This study aims to compare the diagnostic accuracy of CBCT with CR in identifying periapical lesions. Methods: This comparative study involved patients undergoing dental treatment. Each patient received both CBCT and conventional radiography for periapical lesion detection. The diagnostic outcomes of both modalities were evaluated based on lesion size, position, and diagnostic clarity. Statistical analysis was conducted to compare the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of CBCT and CR. Results: CBCT demonstrated superior diagnostic accuracy compared to CR in detecting periapical lesions. The average sensitivity and specificity of CBCT were higher, particularly in detecting smaller and more complex lesions. Statistical analysis showed a significant difference between CBCT and CR in lesion detection ( Conclusion: CBCT is a more reliable imaging modality for the detection of periapical lesions compared to conventional radiography, offering higher diagnostic accuracy. Further studies are needed to establish CBCT as a standard diagnostic tool in clinical practice.
