Concurrent prescribing: Evaluation of its knowledge among dentists.
Article in National journal of maxillofacial surgery. 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
introductionConsidering the staggering number of drugs being prescribed to the patients for dental ailments, the ability of the dentists to recognize potential drug-drug interactions (DDIs) is essential to reduce their occurrence. This study aims to assess the dentist's ability to recognize the potentially clinically significant DDIs in clinical practice. SUBJECTS AND
methodsThis questionnaire-based study was carried out among the dentists working at private tertiary care teaching dental hospitals in Jaipur city. Eighty-five dentists working as faculty members in various departments and having postgraduate degree in their respective specialty were enrolled after taking their written informed consent. A prevalidated close-ended questionnaire was given to the respondents to check their knowledge about common DDI possible in clinical dentistry practice. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS USED: Statistical analysis was done using descriptive statistics. Data were collected in a predesigned Microsoft Excel 2010. Continuous variables were presented as mean values ± standard deviation, and categorical variables were presented as percentages.
resultsAmong 85 dentists recruited for the study, no one had knowledge about all the common DDIs in dental practice. The participants could correctly identify only 47.86% of drug pairs. Drug information services available on the Internet were the most common source (32%) of knowledge of DDIs among them. Knowledge of the prescribed drug (40%) and complete drug history including over-the-counter and herbal products (35%) were the two important ways identified by them for avoiding unwanted drug interactions in clinics.
conclusionThe study revealed that the existing knowledge of the dentists was not adequate. Hence the knowledge of the dentists about DDIs pertinent to dentistry should be enriched and should be reinforced by arranging training sessions at constant intervals of time.
