32 and you - genetic testing for dental disorders.
Article in British dental journal, 2018. 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
Genetic testing for serious illness and disease is becoming increasingly embedded in NHS healthcare. It can confirm a clinical diagnosis or guide therapy. Genetic testing for dental developmental disorders has moved beyond the realms of rarified grant-funded research groups and is now sufficiently rapid and affordable to be offered as part of a clinical service in some dental teaching hospitals. The first presentation of some genetic diseases may be in the dental surgery, so the family dentist should hone their diagnostic skills to identify patients who would benefit from referral to a genetics service. While diagnosis may sometimes guide treatment, there are now examples where it can even lead to cure. This article aims to describe some concepts and issues that a dentist should consider when referring for testing for a genetic dental disorder, and proposes that this subject area should be expanded in the dental undergraduate and postgraduate curricula in the UK.
