The perceived impact of Covid-19 on periodontal practice in the United Kingdom: A questionnaire study.
Article in Journal of dentistry, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
introductionCOVID-19 has impacted dentistry in unprecedented ways.
objectiveThe following research aimed to investigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on periodontal practice in the United Kingdom using the COM-B (Capability Opportunity Motivation-Behaviour) model as the basis for a questionnaire. BASIC RESEARCH
designAn online survey link was sent to all members of the British Society of Periodontology and Implant Dentistry. A total of 358 responses were received and analysed.
resultsThe great majority of participants thought that the pandemic had an impact on their profession, while only 4.7 % had no concerns. The main worries related to financial concerns and ability to provide appropriate levels of care. More than 80 % of respondents agreed that their establishment was compliant with infection control procedures. Some participants felt benefits mainly in terms of more time for CPD activities. It was felt that some of the changes needed will need to be sustained long-term.
conclusionsRespondents were generally worried. However, they perceived they had the physical and psychological ability to effect changes to their practice, higher than the physical and social opportunities that they were afforded. Although the COVID-19 pandemic is causing profound changes and worries for the profession of Periodontology, clinicians are clear about their capability to control the situation and feel they have the motivation to make the required changes. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: COVID-19 has presented clinicians with novel challenges. Investigating the professional response to change and expected impact is of interest in the current climate as we navigate the 'new normal'. Assessing the results could be useful in informing support strategies moving forward.
