Observational study in Sultan Qaboos University medical journal, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06437275 (The Degree of Knowledge and Attitude of Egyptian Physicians Regarding Emergency Treatment of Traumatic Dental Injuries), which is not on this map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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.

Abstract

Objectives: This study aimed to assess the level of knowledge regarding traumatic dental avulsion management among emergency physicians at Sultan Qaboos University Hospital (SQUH), Muscat, Oman. Methods: This cross-sectional, survey-based observational study was conducted among emergency physicians at SQUH from August 2021 to October 2021. The data were collected through a standardised and validated questionnaire. Fisher's exact test and Mann-Whitney U tests were used to analyse the data. Results: A total of 18 completed questionnaire forms were received (response rate: 72.0%). The data revealed that 66.7% of the participants had prior knowledge of avulsion management, and 50% had received education on dental trauma. However, 83.0% of the participants did not feel comfortable replanting an avulsed tooth themselves. Regarding their knowledge level, 45.0% of the participating physicians demonstrated low knowledge, 22.2% demonstrated moderate knowledge and 33.3% demonstrated high knowledge. Thus, 94.0% of the participants were interested in acquiring information about avulsion management. Conclusion: The level of knowledge was significantly associated with receiving dental education and a higher clinical grade. As a result, it is crucial to include information about avulsion and its management in both medical undergraduate and post-graduate curricula.
