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
backgroundThe bleeding tendency and fear of bleeds may have a negative effect on preventive dental care of patients with haemophilia both at home and at dental appointments.
aimTo describe the clinical practice of dental care in children with haemophilia in Helsinki, Finland.
methodsThis study evaluated retrospectively the medical records of 28 paediatric patients with haemophilia (aged 5.3-17.4 years) from dental visits during 2009-2010. Decayed, missing and filled teeth in the primary (dmft) and permanent dentition (DMFT), Community Periodontal Index (CPI), signs of developmental dental defects in enamel and the number of preventive and restorative procedures were gathered. Dmft + DMFT scores were compared with those of 17,079 non-haemophiliac boys. The Mann-Whitney U-test was used to compare the data between the groups of different severity of haemophilia.
resultsThe median number of dental visits per patient was three (range 1-11). Twenty-two patients (79 %) had dmft + DMFT-scores within the 95 % reference range for age. None of the children had a CPI >2. Twelve (43 %) patients had developmental enamel defects. Half had received restorative dental care and three out of four preventive procedures.
conclusionsDental care during hospital visits in children with haemophilia may enhance confidence in the preventive dental care and help minimise bleeding during dental procedures.
