Parent, Dentist, and Independent Rater Assessment of Child Distress During Preventive Dental Visits.
Article in Journal of dentistry for children (Chicago, Ill.), 2016. 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
purposeAlthough typically not painful, preventive dental care can be distressing to young children. A greater understanding of how adults perceive child distress may enable clinicians to improve the patient/parent experience through alignment of values and facilitation of shared decision-making. The purpose of this study was to examine the association between parent, dentist, and independent observer (IO) ratings of child distress during preventive dental procedures.
methodsSixty-five children younger than three years were seen for preventive dental care at a university dental clinic. Parents, dentists, and an IO rated intensity of child distress during four phases of the dental visit: (1) pre-exam; (2) positioning; (3) prophylaxis/exam/fluoride; and (4) post-exam.
resultsThe average age of the children was 24.4 months old (±7.2 SD). The prophylaxis/exam/fluoride phase was judged to be most distress inducing. Mean distress ratings for this phase were: 2.30 (parents); 2.47 (dentists); and 3.08 (IO), which was statistically significant (P=.04). The IO ratings were significantly different from parents (for three phases) and dentists (for one phase); no statistically significant differences were noted between parent and dentist ratings for any phase.
conclusionsThere was a strong agreement between parents' and dentists' ratings of child distress during preventive dental procedures.
