A multicentre, multicycle audit of the prescribing practices of three paediatric dental departments in the North of England.
Article in British dental journal, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundOdontogenic infections are frequently treated with antimicrobials. The inappropriate use of these medications has led to bacterial resistance and the development of species which are resistant to the antimicrobials currently available. This has serious implications for global public health.
aimA multicycle clinical audit was carried out to compare the prescribing practices of three paediatric dental departments in the North of England.
resultsResults revealed deficiencies in prescribing practices in all three centres. Following education and the provision of an aide-memoire in subsequent cycles, improvements were seen in appropriateness of prescribing, increasing from 28% in the first cycle, to 71% in the third cycle.
