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.

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
objectivesThis study aimed to investigate the oral health knowledge of elementary school teachers and assess their attitude towards oral health education in Zunyi.
methodsA total of 636 teachers from 10 primary schools in Zunyi were selected by stratified sampling, and their general information, oral health care habits, results of oral health knowledge questionnaire, and attitude towards oral health and oral health education were investigated. Data were statistically analyzed using SPSS 21.0.
resultsA total of 614 teachers answered the questionnaires. Only 8.8% brush their teeth for more than three minutes, 23.8% brush their teeth horizontally, 64.7% do not performteeth cleaning, and 78.2% do not use floss. Teachers have a weak understanding that six-year teeth are permanent, that pit and fissure sealing could prevent dental caries, and that dental floss could remove dental plaque. However, their attitude towards oral health and oral health education was found to be good.
conclusionsSchools could improve teachers' oral health know-ledge by organizing training and other activities. Teachers could also play an active role in leading and cultivating school-age children to establish good oral habits.
