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.

The aim of this study was investigating the dental patients' knowledge of oral cancer in Isfahan.

Data were collected by a researcher-made 25-item questionnaire. Data analysis was carried out by SPSS (version 26) software using the independent Results: The patients' mean score of knowledge was 49.3 ± 21.4 in Isfahan city and 53.1 ± 18.4 in the other cities of Isfahan province. There was no significant difference between knowledge of oral cancer and gender, marital status, and residence, but there was a significant difference between employment status and knowledge ( Conclusion: Dental patients' knowledge of oral cancer in Isfahan province and its cities was moderate, so it is necessary to increase their level of knowledge through more education.
