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

objectivesThis case report elucidates the application of an integrated digital workflow in which diagnosis, planning, and execution were enhanced by artificial intelligence (AI), enabling an assertive interdisciplinary esthetic-functional rehabilitation. With AI-powered software, the sequence from orthodontic treatment to the final rehabilitation achieved high predictability, addressing patient's chief complaints. CLINICAL CONSIDERATIONS: A patient presented with a missing maxillary left central incisor (tooth 11) and dissatisfaction with a removable partial denture. Clinical examination revealed a gummy smile, a deviated midline, and a disproportionate mesiodistal space relative to the midline. Initial documentation included photographs, intraoral scanning, and cone-beam computed tomography of the maxilla. These data were integrated into a digital planning software to create an interdisciplinary plan. This workflow included prosthetically guided orthodontic treatment with aligners, a motivational mockup, guided implant surgery, peri-implant soft tissue management, and final prosthetic rehabilitation using a CAD/CAM approach.

conclusionsThis digital workflow enhanced communication among the multidisciplinary team and with the patient, ensuring highly predictable esthetic and functional outcomes. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Comprehensive digital workflows improve diagnostic accuracy, streamline planning with AI, and facilitate patient understanding. This approach increases patient satisfaction, supports interdisciplinary collaboration, and promotes treatment adherence.
