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

The aim of this first randomized clinical trial (RCT) was to determine whether intraoral scans (IOS) can be used as a visual aid to improve the communication of dental findings in pediatric dentistry. Therefore, 60 children (mean age 10.1 ± 3.3 years) and their accompanying parents/primary caregivers were examined between July 2022 and February 2023. Patients were randomly allocated to two groups: half of the participants were informed of the children's dental findings including treatment plans by verbal explanation alone (control group,
