Applications and potential of ChatGPT in dentistry: Scoping review of research perspectives.
Review in Journal of dental sciences, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Since ChatGPT was released in 2022, it has been used in various settings and has rapidly been adopted worldwide. The main objective of this review was to provide a comprehensive assessment of the accuracy, reliability, usefulness, and limitations of ChatGPT in dentistry. PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases were searched using the terms "ChatGPT" and "dentistry", and 63 papers were extracted. Of the 63 records identified, medical consultation and assistance were the most common, accounting for 35 of 63 records (53.8 %), followed by study assistance and confirmation tests with 16 records (24.6 %), national and specialist dental examinations with 8 records (12.3 %), and dental research with 4 records (6.2 %). Although ChatGPT can offer many possibilities in the dental field, researchers and dentists should evaluate and use it carefully because ChatGPT answers are not always reliable, and there is a possibility of information leakage. Although its limitations need to be considered, ChatGPT has the potential to revolutionize dental diagnosis, treatment, education, and research.
