The impact of fatwas on patients' acceptance of enamel matrix derivatives for periodontal regeneration in Saudi Arabia.
Article in Patient preference and adherence, 2018. 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
backgroundSince the introduction of enamel matrix derivatives (EMD) (Emdogain MATERIALS AND
methodsThis cross-sectional survey study included 213 patients seeking dental treatment at the Faculty of Dentistry Clinics of King Abdulaziz University, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. They were recruited between September and November 2017. Subjects completed a questionnaire to assess their opinions before and after reading the fatwa about using EMD.
resultsMajority of the study subjects (70%) did not accept the use of bone-grafting materials and EMD in periodontal regeneration before reading the fatwas. The highest rate of acceptance was observed for the use of tissues from one's own body (84%) while the biomaterials of porcine origin had the lowest acceptance rate (14.1%). Strong religious belief and low education level were the two key factors responsible for the initial refusal of EMD use before reading the fatwas. Around 45.1% of the participants changed their opinions in favor of EMD use after reading the fatwas and their interpretations. McNemar's test found a statistically significant difference in opinions collected before and after reading the fatwas (
conclusionA significant impact of the fatwas was found on patients' acceptance of EMD use for periodontal regeneration. We believe reliable interpretations of the fatwas may positively shift patients' attitudes toward using new biomaterials.
