Willingness of general dental practices in South East London to engage with research.

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
This study assessed the willingness of general dental practices (GDPs) to participate in research. All 263 GDPs in South East London that provide dental care under National Health Service (NHS) contracts were invited. The survey instrument was adapted from previous studies and piloted before administration. Geographical factors and practice characteristics associated with willingness to participate in research were explored in logistic regression models. A total of 77 responses were received (response rate: 29%). Of them, 40 (53%) expressed interest in being involved in primary care research. They saw their main role as collecting data and facilitating access to patients. Time, bureaucracy and lack of energy were the main reasons behind a decision not to engage with research. Those spending more time in NHS services were more likely to be willing to participate in research. Other possible indicators were single-handed GDPs, participation in the dental foundation training programme and location in more affluent areas.
