The evolution of patient safety procedures in an oral surgery department.
Article in British dental journal, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
NHS Improvement highlights the importance of providing consistently safe care within the NHS. For dental professionals, this particularly concerns the reporting and avoidance of never events such as wrong tooth extraction and other serious incidents. Within the authors' unit, a number of infrequent never events and the national drive to introduce safety frameworks (NatSSIPs) has led to a reassessment of our safety procedures. In this paper, as part of our safety improvements, we discuss the chronological changes made in safety procedures following untoward events. Subsequently, we introduced a surgical safety briefing (the 'huddle') within the outpatient setting where we undertake invasive oral surgery procedures under local anaesthetic including intravenous sedation. By supplementing the 'huddle' with human factors training for all clinical staff there have been no further never events or serious incidents in the last two and a half years.
