Impact of COVID-19 epidemic on live online dental continuing education.
Article in European journal of dental education : official journal of the Association for Dental Education in Europe, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 33 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
introductionThis study aimed to assess live online dental continuing education during COVID-19 epidemic in China.
methodsTwenty-one institutions providing live online dental courses in China during COVID-19 epidemic enrolled in this study. Their online and/or offline course provision before and during the epidemic was retrospectively inquired. If live online education was provided, the number of courses, duration and number of participants per week were further investigated. Time distributions of live online dental courses were recorded and classified as within working time and out of working time. The test period of COVID-19 epidemic was for two weeks between 16 February and 29 February 2020. The control period of pre-COVID-19 epidemic was for ten weeks between 01 November 2019 and 09 January 2020.
resultsThe percentages of offline and online courses provided by 21 dental continuing education institutions before COVID-19 epidemic were 95.2% (20 out of 21) and 28.6% (6 out of 21), respectively. All the institutions suspended offline courses whilst providing two live online courses, on average, per week with 188 minutes duration and 7290 participants during the epidemic. The total number of online courses for 10 weeks before the epidemic was 33, and that for two weeks during the epidemic was 119. The proportion of courses provided within working time raised from 6.1% (2 out of 33) of pre-COVID-19 to 46.2% (55 out of 119) during COVID-19. There were significant differences between before and during the epidemic (P < .001).
conclusionThe dental continuing education transferred from offline to online dramatically, and live online dental continuing education increased significantly during COVID-19 epidemic in China.
