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

Bone quality assessment is crucial for pre-surgical implant planning, influencing both implant design and drilling protocol selection. The Lekholm and Zarb (L&Z) classification, which categorizes bone quality into four types based on cortical bone width and trabecular bone density using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) data, lacks quantitative guidelines, leading to subjective interpretations. This study aimed to compare the performance of deep learning (DL)-based approaches against human examiners in assessing bone quality, according to the L&Z classification, using CBCT images. A dataset of 1100 CBCT cross-sectional slices was classified into four bone types by two oral and maxillofacial radiologists. Five pre-trained DL models were trained on 1000 images using MATLAB
