Bibliometric Mapping of Studies Assessing Genotoxicity and Cytotoxicity From Cone Beam Computed Tomography Versus Panoramic Radiography Using Exfoliated Buccal Cells.
Review in Cureus, 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
Radiation-induced cellular damage is a well-known phenomenon; its negative effects during diagnostic procedures have received less attention. Numerous diagnostic modalities are being examined for their impact on cells, and interest in this field has been steadily increasing. There is a gap in the bibliometric features of this field of study since the theme evolution, prominent institutions, and journals reporting them have been examined less, and no bibliometric analysis on the cytotoxic and genotoxic effects of dental radiation has been published thus far. The present bibliometric analysis aimed to evaluate the methodological characteristics, geographical distribution, global research trends, citation patterns of studies, and institutional contributions of published literature that investigated the genotoxic and cytotoxic effects of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and panoramic radiography on oral mucosal cells. PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science were searched for original research studies using search strategies designed and customized according to the database. Publications according to year, country, and modality of imaging were first analyzed. Subsequently, the study sample size, the type of analysis used, institutional contributions, journal-wise output, funding sources, radiation dose used, and top-cited papers were reported based on the collected data. Thirty-five articles were included in the bibliometric analysis. There is a gradual increase in publications over time. Orthopantomogram (OPG) is the most common assessing modality, followed by CBCT. Micronucleus assays have been predominantly performed, followed by genotoxicity and cytotoxicity assays. Bibliometric analysis showed a rise in interest in this subject, although geographic distribution and methodology were not satisfactory. Future studies may bear these facts in mind and proceed in a more logical direction, enhancing the knowledge of toxicity due to diagnostic radiation.
