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

objectiveJaw cysts are frequent radiolucent lesions in dentistry that can present diagnostic difficulties due to their similar radiographic appearance. This study aimed to develop an AI-based detection and classification system for jaw cysts using the YOLO v11 deep learning model on panoramic radiographs. MATERIALS AND

methodsA total of 311 panoramic images (211 cystic, 100 normal) were labeled and augmented. The YOLO v11 Small model was trained in both multi-class (distinguishing between dentigerous cysts [DCs], odontogenic keratocysts [OKCs], and radicular cysts [RCs]) and single-class configurations (detecting cysts without type differentiation). Performance metrics included precision, recall, F1 score, and mean average precision (mAP).

resultsIn the multi-class model, the system achieved an mAP of 86%, with precision of 84%, recall of 82%, and F1 score of 83%. Class-wise mean accuracies were 91% for DCs, 85% for OKCs, and 82% for RCs. The single-class model showed slightly lower performance with an mAP of 84% and F1 score of 81%.

conclusionYOLO v11 demonstrated high accuracy in detecting jaw cysts, indicating its potential to support dental diagnostics. Further validation on larger and balanced datasets is recommended to enhance generalizability.
