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

Introduction: Artificial intelligence (AI) tools such as ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and Microsoft Copilot are increasingly relied upon by parents for immediate guidance on pediatric dental concerns. This study evaluated and compared the response quality of these AI platforms in addressing real-world parental queries related to pediatric dentistry, including early tooth extraction, space maintenance, and the decision to consult a pediatric or a general dentist. Methods: A structured 30-question survey was developed and submitted to each AI model, and their responses were anonymized and assessed by pediatric dental experts using a standardized rubric across five key domains: clinical accuracy, clarity, completeness, relevance, and absence of misleading information. Results: Statistically significant differences were found across all five domains ( Discussion: While AI technologies show potential as clinical decision support systems, their variable performance reinforces the need for expert oversight. Future AI development should focus on optimizing response quality and safety to ensure effective and trustworthy digital health communication for pediatric dental care.
