Undergraduate Students' Acceptance of a Reciprocating One-File System for Endodontic Treatment.
Article in European journal of dentistry, 2020. 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
objectivesReciprocating endodontic one-file systems are a comparatively new method for root canal shaping. Even though the mechanical properties are comparable to modern rotating mechanical systems, data about subjective assessment and application quality are scarce. This study evaluates the reciprocating one-file system in undergraduate education. MATERIALS AND
methodsA total of 42 undergraduate students without experience regarding reciprocating file systems filled in a questionnaire in four different points in time ( STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: A least significant difference post-hoc analysis comparing the group average values was performed. The adjusted level of significance was
resultsAll rating scores increased after the first theoretical instruction. After the first practical training in artificial root canals in resin blocks and extracted teeth (
conclusionsReciprocating systems seem to show a good acceptance among first time users. Initial concerns about "work safety" decrease during every step of the educational process. Reciprocating one-file systems are a safe and well-accepted method in undergraduate teaching.
