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: The unconventional state associated with acute dental problems may lead people to seek emergency visits for dental care and abandon routine dental services. The aim of this study was to analyze the emergency dental visits of pediatric patients in the National Health Insurance (NHI) of Taiwan in 2020. Materials and methods: Data on the population and medical records of NHI were obtained from the websites of Ministry of the Interior and the NHI Administration. The pediatric dental patient data were divided into 3 age groups (0-4, 5-9, and 10-14 years) to investigate and analyze emergency dental visit records claimed in 2020. Results: In Taiwan, the two most common oral diseases of children treated in emergency dental visits were diseases of pulp and periapical tissues, and gingivitis and periodontal diseases. Children in the 5-9-year age group had the highest number of emergency dental visits per 10,000 people (12.68 visits), followed in a descending order by all patients in the overall population (12.01 visits), children in the 0-4-year age group (9.65 visits), and children in the 10-14-year age group (7.13 visits). The male pediatric patients usually had higher number of emergency dental visits than female pediatric patients. Conclusion: We conclude that some children seek for dental emergency cares but do not continue to receive routine dental cares, especially in children of the 0-4-year age group. Therefore, it is imperative to continuously raise public awareness of emergency dental visits and reduce the use of dental health insurance resources incorrectly.
