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

Limited access to dental specialists delays accurate diagnosis and treatment planning in remote and underserved populations. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate the reliability of an artificial intelligence system for remote dental diagnosis and treatment planning using intraoral images, panoramic radiographs and clinical histories from 320 patients. AI-generated outputs were compared with independent assessments by three board-certified dentists using Cohen's kappa, sensitivity and specificity metrics. The system achieved 93.2% agreement for caries detection, 89.1% for periodontal assessment and 90.5% for malocclusion classification, with caries detection sensitivity of 94.8% and specificity of 92.1%. Thus, use of artificial intelligence showed substantial diagnostic concordance and may improve triage efficiency and access to care in teledentistry settings.
