[Frugal dentistry-saving resources with a focus on core functions and patient needs].
Review in Bundesgesundheitsblatt, Gesundheitsforschung, Gesundheitsschutz, 2021. 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
Frugal dentistry is derived from the term "frugal" (meaning simple, economical, usable, suitable). It focuses on dental interventions, which on one hand leads to a cost reduction compared to treatment alternatives and on the other hand focuses on dental core functionalities taking into account the patient's needs. In 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) highlighted the urgency to prioritize cost-effective and affordable interventions.Against this background, a classification and review of frugal dentistry is carried out in this article. To what extent its objectives can be substantiated is investigated. Based on literature sources and an exemplary clinical presentation, options for frugal dentistry are shown. In addition, examples of potential frugal interventions and innovations are named and explained for a number of subject fields in dentistry. There are serious deficits in the systematic development and implementation of frugal dentistry. Numerous efforts in research, teaching, and patient care are therefore still required.
