Development of a Device to Reduce Oropharyngeal Aerosol Transmission.
Article in Journal of endodontics, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
The worldwide coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic has greatly impacted dental practice. Issues confronting practicing dentists include possible transmission of disease by droplets/aerosol or contact with contaminated surfaces. Dentists are at increased risk because of their proximity to the oropharynx. In an effort to reduce potential exposure to aerosols generated during treatment, a device has been developed in which a polycarbonate shield is mounted to the dental operating microscope with an attached high-velocity vacuum hose. Anemometer measurements show an exhaust outflow of 3.9 ft/min at a position approximating the patient's oropharynx. More research may be warranted using this or similar approaches to mitigate aerosol transmission.
