Adoption of change in endodontic practice after an educational program: A qualitative study.
Article in Clinical and experimental dental research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectivesThe aim was to define the characteristics of successful implementation of new clinical endodontic routines within a public dental health organization, following an educational program. MATERIALS AND
methodsFifteen staff members were strategically selected for the interview. All had completed a theoretical educational intervention including a complementary endodontic treatment strategy and, for the dentists, comprising training in the nickel-titanium-rotary-technique. All experienced the successful acceptance of new clinical routines. Two thematic in-depth audiotaped interviews were conducted, wherein the informants described the implementation process in their own words. The interviews were transcribed verbatim and analyzed according to Qualitative Content Analysis.
resultsA theme was identified: A multiple flexible process with governance support and gradual reinforcement of motivation, with the following main categories: Firstly, contextual facilitation, with two subcategories (i) a multifaceted organizational foundation and (ii) a tolerance of flexibility. Secondly, emotional facilitation, with two subcategories (i) an experience of simplification and (ii) an experience of improvement.
conclusionThe results improve the understanding of a multifaceted process underlying the acceptance of changes to clinical endodontic procedures by dentists in a public dental health organization. Important contributing factors identified were governance support, a committed resource person with contextual knowledge, tolerance of flexibility in implementation, and permissive informal communication channels within the local workplace. These findings might be a valuable contribution to an evidence base, facilitating the selection of the most appropriate educational strategy and structure for a specified purpose.
