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
Introduction: Behavior management of pediatric patients may be done by behavioral and pharmacological techniques. Parents play a vital role when making a decision for treatment for the kid. Aim: To evaluate parental acceptance towards behavior management techniques (BMT) at the side of its reference to previous dental expertise and dental anxiety. Materials and methods: A descriptive cross-sectional survey was conducted among forty parents of children between three to twelve years before dental treatment. The statistical analysis was done using the Chi-square test, Student's paired and unpaired Results: The most accepted technique was audiovisual technique followed by tell-show-do and anesthesia. The least accepted technique was oral sedation. Parents whose children were treated at the Postgraduate Clinic of Department of Pediatric Dentistry had lower incomes than those from the private practice. 24% preferred general anesthesia compared to active restraint. Conclusion: Audiovisual technique is the most accepted behavior management technique by parents and is an efficient distraction technique for behavior management for anxious pediatric patients. Postgraduate clinic parents had lower incomes than those at the private practice. Parental dental experience and dental anxiety didn't have an effect on the acceptance of any specific behavior management technique. How to cite this article: Shukla H, Kulkarni S, Wasnik MB,
