Electrical conductance or impedance vs Reference standard (histology, excavation, or enhanced visual examination)

Sensitivity for detection of enamel caries · Asymptomatic children or adults suspected of enamel caries (clinical studies); extracted teeth (in vitro studies)

Electrical conductance or impedance had a summary sensitivity of 0.83 (95% CrI 0.66, 0.92) for detecting enamel caries; low certainty.

Electrical conductance or impedance vs Reference standard (histology, excavation, or enhanced visual examination)

Specificity for detection of enamel caries · Asymptomatic children or adults suspected of enamel caries (clinical studies); extracted teeth (in vitro studies)

Electrical conductance or impedance had a summary specificity of 0.72 (95% CrI 0.44, 0.89) for detecting enamel caries; low certainty.

Advanced platelet rich fibrin (A-PRF) vs No active treatment (control)

Pain (VAS cm) · Adults (>18 years) with established dry socket following permanent tooth extraction

Advanced platelet rich fibrin (A-PRF) led to lower pain (VAS cm) compared with control (no treatment); GRADE not reported.

Geriatrician‐led inpatient management vs orthopaedic‐led inpatient management

Activities of daily living and functional performance (functional performance measured using the SPPB at 12 months) SPPB (0 to 12 points, where higher scores equate to greater functional performance) · adults with dementia following hip fracture surgery

Geriatrician‐led inpatient management vs orthopaedic‐led inpatient management

Mortality at 12 months · adults with dementia following hip fracture surgery

It is very uncertain whether geriatrician‐led inpatient management changes mortality at 12 months compared with orthopaedic‐led inpatient management (very low certainty).

Geriatrician‐led inpatient management vs orthopaedic‐led inpatient management

Adverse events (delirium during hospitalisation) · adults with dementia following hip fracture surgery

It is very uncertain whether geriatrician‐led inpatient management changes adverse events (delirium during hospitalisation) compared with orthopaedic‐led inpatient management (very low certainty).
