Mobile Dental Radiology-Evaluation of Quality Requirements for Radiographs Applying Handheld Mobile Radiography.
Article in Gerodontology, 2026. 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
backgroundRadiography is required in domiciliary dentistry in order to ensure accurate diagnosis, but the available devices have not yet been approved due to a lack of research regarding the quality of single tooth radiography.
aimTo examine dental radiographs taken using the mobile X-ray device (Nomad Pro 2, Envista, Brea, CA) with regard to their quality, examinability and their benefit for treatment planning in mobile dentistry.
methodsThe image quality of radiographs using a mobile handheld X-ray system was assessed. The quality criteria catalogue of the German Dental Association was applied.
resultsOf 127 dental radiographs, 80% (101) showed no quality defects. Diagnosis-relevant quality defects were found in 17% (21). 61% (78) of radiographs had clinically relevant secondary findings that had an influence on further dental treatment and on the prognosis of the teeth.
conclusionsDental care in nursing homes presents significant challenges, particularly regarding oral preventive medicine. Surgical procedures are legally contestable without dental radiology, and this raises professional and ethical concerns. Mobile dental radiology is an important component of treatment in mobile dentistry. Unexpected findings such as apical osteolysis or root remnants can only be identified and treated by means of radiography.
