Assessment of knowledge and attitude toward stem cells and their implications in dentistry among recent graduates of dental schools in Saudi Arabia.
Article in The Saudi dental journal, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
backgroundTo evaluate the knowledge and attitude level of recent dental graduates in Saudi Arabia toward stem cells and their potential therapeutic applications.
methodsIn this cross-sectional study, a questionnaire was distributed among 606 recent graduates from 14 dental schools in Saudi Arabia. Fifteen statements were formulated to address the knowledge component with "yes" or "no" or "I do not know" answer and 10 statements were designed to assess the attitude level with Likert 5-point response scale. The level of knowledge for each respondent was designated as poor if the score value is (0-5), moderate (6-10), and high (11-15). To evaluate the attitude level for each respondent, a score of (1) was assigned for extremely negative answer and (5) for extremely positive answer for each statement. Based on the total score, attitude level was considered poor when the score value is (10-29), moderately positive (30-39), good (40-44), or excellent (45-50).
resultsSignificant difference was found in the knowledge score between males and females (
conclusionUpdating dental curricula with topics on stem cell research and potential future applications in dentistry is demanded.
