Creativity as a framework for innovation in dental education.
Article in Frontiers in oral health, 2023. 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
Dental education is rich with examples of innovation as educators have responded to advances in knowledge, technology, the needs of the community, and most recently the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. Current challenges requiring innovative pedagogies include developing graduates who are interprofessional collaborative practice-ready, adapting to technological advances, embedding sustainability in the curriculum, and addressing equity and diversity in dental education. Creativity is the production of something that is novel and useful and is intimately linked to innovation which is the implementation of new and improved ways of doing things. To develop innovative pedagogies and address the current challenges facing dental education, educators and dental schools must reflect on the factors necessary for supporting creativity and innovation and seek to remove barriers to or biases against creativity. Here, we discuss the importance of creativity in supporting innovation in dental education, and call for leadership to actively support all elements of creativity for continued innovation to address the challenges we face in educating the future oral health workforce.
