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.

aimTo assess the patients' awareness of HPV infection's impact on oral health. MATERIAL AND
methodsThis was a prospective study of dental patients who were treated in the Department of Oral Surgery at the Medical University of Gdańsk (Gdańsk, Poland) from January to February 2019. Inclusion criteria were as follows: Polish-speaking patients over 18 years old. Exclusion criteria were as follows: people with limited Polish language knowledge and under 18 years old. Participation was voluntary based on the written consent. Descriptive and bivariate statistics were computed and the
resultsThree hundred and sixty-three people (58.13%: females; 41.87%: males; mean age 21 years, range: 18-65) were included in the study. Women were more aware what HPV was (
conclusionsOur study suggests that patients' awareness of the influence of HPV infections on oral health is limited. Therefore, more attention should be paid to the education of the patients and to prevention programs.
