Evaluation of sawbones training protocol in bone quality classification using tactile sensation.
Article in Journal of dental sciences, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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/purpose: Bone quality may affect the implantation protocol. This study aimed to assess whether training protocols could improve novice dental practitioners' abilities in judging bone densities with tactile sensation. Materials and methods: Twenty-five operators were recruited to evaluate the density of artificial polyurethane bone blocks by a 2-mm twist-drill drilling and reported the bone quality perceived in a 100-mm VAS line. Five blocks (densities: 0.08-0.48 g/cm Results: While mean VAS values were significantly different among the five test blocks, it was not noticed in blocks of the same density between test sessions. Significant linear correlations were observed between VAS values and block densities. Training did not influence the VAS evaluation and hardness sequencing in general but training significantly reduced the sequencing errors in operators with inferior initial performance. Conclusion: The proposed training protocol can improve the bone-quality perception among less experience dentists with poorer initial performance in bone density evaluation.
