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
backgroundThe quality of education and the learning environment significantly influence dental trainees' success and experiences. However, the impact of the educational environment on dental residents in Saudi Arabia remains unexplored. This study aimed to assess the educational environment among dental residents at King Abdulaziz Medical City (KAMC) using the Postgraduate Hospital Educational Environment Measure (PHEEM) instrument, shedding light on its influence and providing insights for improvement.
methodsA cross-sectional survey was conducted among 85 dental residents from various specialties at King Abdulaziz Medical City in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, using the PHEEM instrument to evaluate the educational environment. Data analysis involved descriptive statistics, the Shapiro-Wilk test for score normality, and comparative analyses to explore the relationships between PHEEM scores and sociodemographic characteristics, specialties, residency years, and health habits.
resultsA total of 85 dental residents completed the survey. The majority of participants were aged 25 years and older (96.5%), female (56.5%), and single (78.8%). Most of the participating dental residents were Saudi board orthodontic residents (18.8%), and they were at the R2 level of training (32.9%). 88.2% were non-smokers, and 78.8% of them practiced physical activity. The PHEEM assessment revealed an overall score of 117.12 out of 160, with subscale scores of 41.54 out of 56 for role autonomy, 44.66 out of 60 for teaching, and 30.92 out of 44 for social support. Factors like age, marital status, and smoking were associated with lower scores, while being female and physically active were linked to higher scores. Notably, R3 residents had significantly lower scores than R1 residents (p < 0.05).
conclusionThis study evaluated the educational environment in Saudi board dental programs at KAMC, revealing an overall positive atmosphere but highlighting the need for improvement in certain areas. Despite some limitations, this research represents a significant step toward assessing and enhancing the educational environment for dental residents in Saudi Arabia, ultimately ensuring a better learning environment for future dental professionals.
