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

The evaluation of dental malpractice claims database is helpful to analyze the risk and lower the chances of potential litigation. In this descriptive analysis, the Taiwan Judicial Judgment Database was used to analyze the civil court decisions of dental malpractice related to infection from January 1, 2000 to August 31, 2023. After rigor verdicts reviewed, 53 dental malpractice civil judgments related to infection were included and further analyzed. Total 15 lawsuits were required to recover the punitive damages. The overall civil conviction rate was 28.3%. Two cases occurred in the dental department at medical center and 13 cases were found in the local clinics. The top one awarded compensation is dental implant. The amount of compensation was ranged from NT$ 110,000 to NT$ 3,000,000. In conclusion, this analysis can provide the important information and reference in the amounts of compensation for dental malpractice in Taiwan.
