Identification and evaluation of radiographic interpretation errors among undergraduate dental students.
Article in Medical education online, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Radiographic interpretation among dental students remains prone to errors due to its subjective nature between individuals. This study aimed to identify types of errors in dental radiograph interpretation and explore their underlying causes. A mixed-methods design was employed, involving fifth- and sixth-year undergraduate dental students from Mahidol University. In the quantitative phase, students completed an online radiographic interpretation test via Cisco Webex Meetings. Errors that occurred during radiographic interpretation were recorded and categorized as incorrect diagnosis, false-positive, and false-negative types. Comparisons were made between the two student groups. In the qualitative phase, students participated in individual Webex interviews, during which they explained their interpretation processes and identifying errors across six radiographs. Thematic analysis was used to explore specific error types and contributing factors. The quantitative phase showed false-negative errors were the most frequent. Fifth-year students made 206 errors (7.92 ± 2.86), while sixth-year students made 172 errors (6.62 ± 3.50). A statistically significant difference was found only in incorrect diagnoses (
