Knowledge and Practice of ICDAS and ICCMS in Young Children: A Cross-sectional Study among Final-year Dental Students in Malaysia.

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
backgroundTo evaluate the association of sex, type of institution, and satisfaction of educational activities with dental students' knowledge of International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS) and International Caries Classification and Management System (ICCMS) in young children. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis was a cross-sectional study involving final-year dental students from all accredited dental institutions across Malaysia. A self-constructed questionnaire was given through an identified personal contact from each school. The students' responses on the association of sex and institution type with the satisfaction of education activities and ICDAS and ICCMS knowledge were tested using the independent
resultsA total of 440 responses were obtained. Out of this, 312 (70.9%) were female and 126 (28.6%) were male respondents, and 2 with unknown sex. There were 231 responses (52.5%) from the private institution and 209 responses (47.5%) from the government institution. Males had a higher level of satisfaction toward the education activities. No significant difference was observed between the knowledge of ICCMS and ICDAS and sex or institution type.
conclusionMale dental students felt more satisfied with pediatric lectures conducted during preclinical years and were more prepared to treat patients independently upon graduation. Sex and type of institution did not play a role in the knowledge and dental students were more knowledgeable in ICDAS compared to ICCMS. HOW TO CITE THIS ARTICLE: Yin LS, Tamilselvam K, Abdulla AM,
