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
Background/purpose: COVID-19 has caused a global public health crisis with a major impact on the dental community. The unknown nature of the disease, close and prolonged contact between the patient and provider, aerosol-generating dental procedures in dental settings, guidelines that kept evolving are some of the factors that have alarmed the dental community. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the fear/anxiety among dental providers and assess the knowledge and related practice modification in a post-doctoral dental institution in Upstate New York. Materials and methods: An online, anonymous, validated survey was sent to all dental faculty and trainees (n = 358) including general dentists and specialists from various departments between August and October 2020. Descriptive statistics and Chi-square goodness-of-fit test were performed. Results: A total of 144 responded to the survey. It was reported that the majority of the dental providers (faculty (80%) and trainees (90%)) were afraid of getting infected with COVID-19 from the patient. Approximately 90% in both groups reported fear of carrying the infection home to their family and about reports of people dying. The majority of dental providers were well-versed with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines. There was difference in knowledge about using N-95 and level 3 masks with face shields for various dental procedures. Conclusion: The study concluded that COVID-19 related fear/anxiety among dental providers was immediate and needed to be addressed.
