Forensic dentistry - Present and future.
Article in Bioinformation, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Evolved from the Latin word "Forensis", meaning forum or the court of law, forensic science branches out into a vital subfield, forensic dentistry, which is dedicated to the application of science for the preservation and presentation of dental evidence in the interest of justice. Forensic dentistry is transitioning from manual morphology to high-precision digital diagnostics. While rooted in the thermal resilience of dental tissues, the field now leverages convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for automated age estimation and DNA methylation for epigenetic profiling. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate the shift toward the Internet of Dental Things (IoDT) and 3D digital twinning via CBCT for immutable identification. By synthesizing 2024-2026 technological advancements, we provide a roadmap for enhancing the objectivity and legal admissibility of dental evidence. These molecular and AI-driven tools are critical for modernizing human identification in mass disaster and criminal investigations, offering superior speed and accuracy over traditional comparative methods. Thus, we report the pivotal shift from manual dental morphology to AI-driven digital diagnostics.
