The Impact of COVID-19 on Dentistry in Yichang, China, and Protective Suggestions for Normalisation of Epidemic Prevention.
Article in International dental journal, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundCoronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been identified as a pandemic by the World Health Organization in March 2020, and it affects all aspects of life, including dental care.
objectivesThe purpose of this article is to explore the impact of COVID-19 on the daily operations of the stomatology department and provide some guidance for dental health care personnel around the world in continuing to provide exemplary care while limiting the spread of COVID-19. MATERIALS AND
methodsRetrospective analyses were performed on dental patients' medical records from the stomatology department of the First People's Hospital of Yichang, China, which were collected in the pre-epidemic, epidemic, and post-epidemic periods. Hospital-wide triage and stomatology department-specific protocols were established in the hospital to prevent cross-infection during the COVID-19 pandemic.
resultsThe number of patients decreased and proportion of emergency cases increased during the epidemic period. With prevention protocols in place, the number of dental patients returned to the normal range with a slight elevation during the post-epidemic period. Thus far, there has not been a single documented case of COVID-19 related to dental treatment in the hospital.
conclusionsCOVID-19 has a major impact on daily life, including dental care services. Effective prevention and control measures including 3 levels of protection-zoning, instrumentation, and environmental disinfection-are needed for dental settings to provide care.
