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

The current retrospective study was intended to assess the prevalence, type and location of incidental findings on CBCT images taken for various dental diagnostic desired outcomes. The scans were taken using the CS 8100 3D Select scanner with fixed parameters (60-90 kV, 2- 15 mA and exposure time 07-15 seconds). The maximum field of view (FOV) was 8 x 9cm, with a grey scale of 16384-14 bits. The archived retrospective CBCT scanned images chosen for the study were classified according to gender. Out of the 342 CBCT scans evaluated, a remarkable 300 (90.7%) indicated a total of 631 incidental results that were unrelated to the primary reason for the CBCT scan.
