Factors associated with children's perception of pain following dental treatment.
Article in European archives of paediatric dentistry : official journal of the European Academy of Paediatric Dentistry, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
purposeTo assess children's perception of pain during routine dental procedures and associated factors.
methodsA cross-sectional study was performed including 192 children aged 6-13 years, who visited a university paediatric dental clinic. Mothers were interviewed to obtain information about demographic and socioeconomic data, and psychosocial characteristics. During dental treatment, children's behaviour was assessed using Frankl's Behaviour Scale. Dental procedures were recorded according to complexity of treatment from dental records. Immediately after the dental procedure, perception of pain was assessed using the Faces Pain Scale-Revised. Poisson regression analysis was used to assess the association between potential predictor variables and perception of pain (P < 0.05 was considered significant).
resultsOverall, the mean pain score was 1.5 (SD 2.4). Higher levels of pain were reported by children who demonstrated non-cooperative behaviour during the treatment (RR = 2.39, 95% CI = 1.23-4.64), who were administered local analgesia (RR = 2.36, 95% CI = 1.31-4.27), and who reported dental pain during the previous 4 weeks (RR = 1.60, 95% CI = 1.04-2.47).
conclusionPerception of pain may be influenced by pre-operative pain and use of local analgesia, and is associated with non-cooperative behaviour during treatment.
