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

BACKGROUND Stainless-steel crowns (SSCs) have been the most effective and efficient methods of tooth restoration in pediatric dentistry, and they have shown consistently high success rates. This study aimed to evaluate the knowledge, awareness, and practice of SSCs among dental professionals in Sana'a City, Yemen. MATERIAL AND METHODS A modified questionnaire was prepared from previous similar studies and distributed to 700 participants. It consisted of 3 parts: the first was related to participant characteristics; the second consisted of questions related to knowledge and awareness of SSCs such as indications, advantages, challenges, and parent's rejection to SSCs; and the third part was correlated to questions related to the use and practice of SSCs, number of children treated, and SSCs cemented per week. Statistical significance was determined using a chi-square test, and the P value was set at <0.05 for statistical significance. RESULTS A total of 604 dental professionals answered the questionnaire, 159 (26.3%) had used SSC restoration, and 12 (80.0%) of them had a degree in pediatric dentistry, with significant differences among participants (P<0.000). Respondents with higher academic qualifications recorded higher percentages in using SSCs during their clinics, with significant differences (P<0.005). A significant difference was detected between general practitioners and pedodontists in practice questions (P=0.000). Most of the respondents (78.8%) indicated a desire for more practice and hands-on training in use of SSCs. CONCLUSIONS General dentists in Sana'a City, Yemen, do not frequently use SSCs. Most of the respondents stated that they lacked practical training and expressed a need for further knowledge and continuing education.
