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 application of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in pediatric dentistry has expanded rapidly and is assuming an increasingly important role in the assessment of oral health and diagnostic processes in children. In particular, image-based analyses and data-driven predictive models offer significant potential to enhance diagnostic accuracy and reduce observer-dependent variability. This review addresses AI applications in pediatric dentistry within a structured framework, summarizing the methodological foundations of machine learning and deep learning approaches while critically evaluating the current body of evidence. It further identifies key limitations in the existing literature and outlines future research priorities, aiming to provide a perspective for the safe and sustainable clinical integration of AI in pediatric dentistry.
