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

backgroundThe overarching aim of this study is to furnish dental experts and researchers with a comprehensive understanding of the role of machine learning in dentistry. This entails a nuanced understanding of prevailing technologies, discerning emerging trends, and providing strategic guidance for future research endeavors and practical implementations. MATERIAL AND

methodsWe assessed the literature by looking for papers related to the issue after 2019 in the Pubmed, Web of Science, and Google Scholar databases. A narrative review of 29 papers satisfying the search criteria was undertaken, with an emphasis on the application of machine learning in dentistry.

resultsA review was conducted, including 29 publications. The advent of emerging technologies holds promise for enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of dental diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis. Nevertheless, the intricate nature of oral disease diagnosis and outcome prediction mandates acknowledgment of variables such as individual idiosyncrasies, lifestyle, genetics, image quality, and tooth morphology. These factors may impact the precision of machine learning models. Dental professionals should not rely solely on AI-based results but rather use them as references. Integrating these findings with clinical examinations, assessing the patient's overall health, and oral condition is crucial for informed decision-making.

conclusionsThis review explores the clinical applications of machine learning in dentistry, encompassing disciplines like cariology, endodontics, periodontology, oral medicine, oral and maxillofacial surgery, prosthodontics and orthodontics. It serves as a valuable resource for dental practitioners and scholars in understanding the computer algorithms employed in each study, facilitating the clinical translation of machine learning research outcomes.
