Evaluating the Effectiveness of CHRIS'S Birds Assisted Therapy on Dental Anxiety among Pediatric Patients: A Pilot Study.
Article in International journal of clinical pediatric dentistry, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Background: The heart of childhood nurtures an array of immature emotions. Through this rollercoaster of childhood emotions, from tears to laughter, it is the sole responsibility of a pediatric dentist to help the children navigate through their emotions with their empathetic actions. Whenever a child is anxious or fearful in the dental chair, the child may put forth his emotion through crying or taking up a flight response. Dental caries is a disease that is aggravated when a child refuses to cooperate with dental treatment. The tiny holes in the tooth, when unfilled, may lead to bigger problems, which in turn may lead to tooth loss in future. It is the comprehensive responsibility of the pediatric dentist to support health and emotional development and provide a complete, fulfilling oral rehabilitation to the child patient. Aims and objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine the anxiety levels of pediatric patients visiting the dental Outpatient Department at a Dental College and Hospital in Kavalkinaru. This study unveils a novel technique wherein birds were used in the form of CHRIS'S Birds Assisted Therapy to reduce anxiety in pediatric dental patients. Results: Results showed that intervention with birds through CHRIS'S Birds Assisted Therapy significantly reduced the anxiety levels in children. Conclusion: Thus, CHRIS'S Birds Assisted Therapy is shown to be a promising method of anxiety control, a key to a successful pediatric dental practice. How to cite this article: Joybell C, Kumar K.
