Knowledge and Practices of Oral Health Care During Pregnancy: A Survey Among Swiss Dentists.
Article in Oral health & preventive dentistry, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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 evaluate the knowledge and practices of Swiss dentists concerning oral care during pregnancy. MATERIALS AND
methodsA cross-sectional survey was conducted among 200 dentists from the German and French part of Switzerland. The survey consisted of 16 questions which assessed the knowledge, attitudes and barriers faced by dentists regarding dental care during pregnancy.
resultsThe majority of dentists agreed that dental care should be part of prenatal care. Overall, good agreement between the French- and German-speaking dentists was found concerning the timing of conducting various dental procedures and the administration of anesthetics and other drugs during pregnancy. Uncertainty was observed regarding the link between periodontal disease and adverse pregnancy outcomes.
conclusionThe survey reported that Swiss dentists in private practice have the knowledge to provide dental care to pregnant women. However, they all expressed the need for clear guidelines and direction on this important aspect of public health.
