Auto-Transplantation of Teeth: A Descriptive Cross-Sectional Study of Knowledge and Attitude.
Article in Cureus, 2023. 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
aimThis study aimed to evaluate the knowledge and attitude of dental interns regarding tooth auto-transplantation and to determine the need for additional education on this topic among dental interns.
methodsEthical approval was obtained for the study. A self-administered questionnaire was designed, validated, and distributed to dental interns from various dental schools in the Western Province of Saudi Arabia. The questionnaire covered demographics, knowledge assessment, and attitude. The data were analyzed using chi-square and Fisher's exact tests, with gender as an independent variable.
resultsA total of 215 dental interns participated, with a response rate of 44.1%. Only 61.4% were familiar with teeth auto-transplantation. Dental interns displayed knowledge gaps and misconceptions concerning tooth auto-transplantation, with varying levels of understanding. The study revealed gender-related differences in knowledge and attitudes. Notably, a substantial portion of participants relied on social media and the internet for information about auto-transplantation.
conclusionThe study identified significant knowledge gaps and misconceptions among dental interns regarding tooth auto-transplantation. To address these issues and promote a proper understanding of this treatment modality, it is crucial to integrate comprehensive education on auto-transplantation into undergraduate dental curricula. This will help bridge the knowledge-practice gap and dispel misconceptions surrounding this valuable procedure. Future research should consider larger sample sizes from private dental schools and explore the impact of improved education on attitudes and practices regarding tooth auto-transplantation among dental professionals.
