1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectivesThe aim of this study was to investigate whether the newly developed artificial dental plaque (A-DP) is useful as an educational tool for denture care of dental hygienist that compared it with conventional artificial dental plaque from the viewpoint of practical skills. MATERIAL AND

methodsThe 125 dental hygienist school students and 26 dental hygienists who had clinical experience were subjected a practical training of denture plaque control using the conventional denture plaque (C-DP) and the A-DP. The questionnaires based on the semantic differential method were used to survey whether the A-DP is similar to the real denture plaque (R-DP). Factor analysis by rotation of promax was carried out.

resultsIn the results of the factor analysis, the two factors could be detected in students and three factors in dental hygienists. The total score of each denture plaque was calculated for each factor, and correlation coefficient was examined. There was significant correlation between the A-DP and the R-DP at the first factors, both students and dental hygienists. C-DP was not similar to R-DP in all factors.

conclusionsThese results suggested that A-DP resembles R-DP better than C-DP. It was concluded that the A-DP was similar to the R-DP and could be a potent educational tool for practical denture care.
