Influence of blue-light blocking filter on a series of diagnostic tasks in digital radiographs.
Article in Oral radiology, 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
objectivesTo evaluate the influence of blue-light filtering on the diagnosis of different dental conditions (internal and external root resorptions, horizontal and vertical root fractures, and furcation defects) in intraoral digital radiographs.
methodsThe study used 10 mandibles, 8 dry skulls, and 60 single-rooted teeth distributed according to the induction of the different pathological conditions. The conditions were simulated using specific methodologies for each type of lesion with mechanical processes or combined with chemical processes. Digital radiographs were acquired using the KaVo eXam digital system. The obtained images were randomized and evaluated individually by 11 evaluators, using a 5-point scale, as to the absence or presence of each condition. The images were evaluated using Windows 11 blue-light filtering with four intensities: 0% (off), 20% (low), 40% (intermediate), and 60% (high). Diagnostic values were calculated and compared using one-way ANOVA with a 5% significance level.
resultsThere were no significant differences in the diagnostic values among the different intensities of the blue-light filtering for any of the diagnostic tasks (p ≥ 0.05).
conclusionsThe use of blue-light filtering at different intensities does not influence diagnostic tasks on digital radiographs. Thus, this resource can be used by professionals.
