Perception of dental professionals towards dental management of patients using antithrombotic medications in Saudi Arabia: A cross-sectional survey.
Article in Journal of family medicine and primary care, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectivesTo assess dental professionals' perception and knowledge about dental management of patients on antithrombotics and determine if the treatment approach is according to the international guidelines.
methodsThis cross-sectional survey was conducted in Saudi Arabia during January 2014-December 2015 and included licensed dentists and hygienists from different dental institutions and Saudi's annual dental conference attendees. Data were collected by using a self-administered questionnaire, with questions about dental management of patients on antithrombotics. Data analysis was done using Statistical Package for Social Sciences statistical software, version 22.
resultsOf the 305 participants, 302 completed the survey (dentists: 94.7% and dental hygienists: 5.3%). For traditional antithrombotics, familiarity was higher for Warfarin and Aspirin compared to Clopidogrel. However, for new oral anticoagulants (NOACs), familiarity was significantly less for Rivaroxaban (
conclusionDental professionals have limited familiarity with antithrombotics, especially NOACs. Therefore, awareness about NOACs and their impact on dental procedures is needed among dentists in primary healthcare settings, to facilitate proper and timely management.
