1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

This survey aimed at evaluating the knowledge and awareness regarding the various retention protocols used in orthodontic practice. A survey has been conducted among the dental students by circulating 15 close-ended questions online to analyze the data collected on the protocols and trends in orthodontic retention. The male and female distribution among the study population was evaluated, and the retention protocols used were computed; statistical analysis was performed using SPSS software. Ninety-four percent accepted that Hawley retainers are predominantly used compared to fixed retainers. Eighty-seven percent agreed that they aim at a more stable dentition by the completion of orthodontic treatment. The Chi-square test on the knowledge of respondents on the permanent retention to be followed after orthodontic treatment to close generalized spacing is statistically not significant,
