Survey Study among Dentist in Bulgaria to Develop a Model for Risk Management in Dental Practice.
Article in BioMed research international, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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: Quality control and risk management in the field of dental services is an important part of improving patient safety as well as that of the dentists. The introduction of a risk management model would simplify and facilitate this process. Aim: The aim of the study is to gather information about the structurе and organization of work processes in Bulgarian dental practices, which will serve as a basis for building a risk management model. Results: A total of 103 Bulgarian dentists took part in the study, out of which 25.24% ± 4.28% have acquired a specialty. Women are 52.43% ± 4.92%, and men -47.57% ± 4.92%. The largest is the relative share of the respondents in the age range of 25-35 years -63.10% ± 4.75% and with work experience of 6-15 years -52.43% ± 4.92%. Most of the respondents do not define in writing the main tasks and activities -52.43% ± 4.92%, and do not use checklists in their practice -54.73%. The majority of the respondents do not hold regular meetings with their teams -50.49% ± 4.93%, as well as they do not conduct surveys among their patients -68.93% ± 4.56%. The majority of the respondents -41.75% ± 4.86% are guided by their personal judgment in respect to whether the written information provided to patients is comprehensible and accessible. The majority of dentists -45.63% ± 4.91% take informed consent only for expensive procedures in written and oral form -53.40% ± 4.92%. Out of all the respondents, 75.73% ± 4.22% have not analyzed the risk of slipping in their practices for the last two years. Conclusion: There is a lack of written definition of the main tasks and processes, as well as no use of checklists in the practices of most of the interviewed dentists. Meetings with teams are held irregularly. There is a lack of surveys among patients, as well as no objective feedback from patients regarding the comprehensibility of the information materials provided. Informed consent is obtained from patients mainly in written and oral form and only for costly manipulations. In the practices of most of the interviewed dentists, there has been no assessment of the risk of slipping and falling for the last 2 years.
