Knowledge, attitude and practice regarding the use of dental operating microscope in pediatric dentistry in India: An online survey.
Article in Journal of oral biology and craniofacial research. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
BACKGROUND AND
aimLiterature search shows scarcity of information regarding the use of Dental Operating Microscope (DOM) in children. There are various factors that limit the use of this novel technology by Pediatric Dentists in their practice. The aim of this study is to assess the knowledge, attitude and practice of pediatric dentist regarding DOM use in children.
methodThe present study was a descriptive web based questionnaire study conducted among 363 Pediatric Dentists (PDs) of India. A close-ended questionnaire was prepared to test the KAP regarding microscope use among PDs. Results obtained were analyzed using descriptive analysis in SPSS software and correlation was studied using chi-square test where statistical significance was observed at p < 0.05.
resultsA response rate of 82.1% was observed. Majority (88.9%) of the pediatric dentists were aware of Dental operating Microscope (DOM) usage in their field, however, only 61.4% were aware of its magnification levels. 76.5% participants responded 12
conclusionThe knowledge, attitude and practice regarding dental operating microscope among pediatric dentists in India is limited. In the foreseeable future, the use of magnification is likely to become the standard of practice in dentistry.
