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

objectivesTo evaluate the influence of the number of periapical radiographs with different vertical angles of the X-ray beam and the impact of digital enhancement filters on the diagnosis of horizontal root fracture (HRF).

methodsTwenty-four single-rooted teeth, 12 with HRF and 12 without HRF, composed the sample. For the first evaluation, periapical radiographs of the teeth were acquired individually with the VistaScan

resultsThe area under the receiver operator curve, sensitivity, and negative predictive values were lower when HRF was diagnosed with only one radiograph (p < 0.05) compared to two or three radiographs, which did not differ among themselves (p > 0.05). There were no differences between the images evaluated in different filter conditions (p > 0.05). Intra- and inter-examiner agreement ranged from moderate to almost perfect and fair to substantial, respectively.

conclusionsEvaluation of two radiographs with different vertical angulations improves the diagnosis of HRF and is recommended. The use of VistaScan
