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

Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming dentomaxillofacial radiology education by enabling adaptive, personalized, and data-driven learning experiences. This review critically examines the pedagogical potential of AI within dental curricula, focusing on its ability to enhance student engagement, improve diagnostic competencies, and streamline clinical decision-making processes. Key innovations include real-time feedback systems, AI-guided simulations, automated assessments, and clinical decision support tools. Through these resources, AI transforms static learning into dynamic, interactive, and competency-based education. Additionally, this review discusses the integration of AI into formative assessment frameworks, such as OSCEs and mini-CEX, and its impact on student confidence, performance tracking, and educational scalability. Although primarily narrative in structure, this review synthesizes the current literature on dentomaxillofacial radiology education, supported by selected insights from medical radiology, to provide a comprehensive and up-to-date perspective on the educational applications of AI. Challenges (including ethical implications and other practical considerations) are addressed, alongside future directions for research and curriculum development. Overall, AI has the potential to significantly enhance radiology education by fostering clinically competent, ethically grounded, and technologically literate dental professionals.
