Picture perfect: study protocol for assessing the accuracy, feasibility and acceptability of intraoral photographs captured by parents for remote dental screening in children - an observational mixed-methods study.
Article in BMJ open, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundChildren with limited access to dental care can be negatively impacted by reduced frequency of oral health monitoring, delays in diagnosis of dental disease and increased waits for dental care, resulting in them experiencing more disease (extent and amount). Smartphone-based intraoral photography has been cited as having the potential to improve oral health monitoring for children through screening; however, it has not been well evaluated, and its limitations are unclear. The picture-perfect study aims to assess diagnostic accuracy, feasibility and acceptability to determine whether remote photographic monitoring can be effectively integrated into pathways of dental care for children aged 6-16 years.
