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
Objective: This qualitative study was conducted to explore the perceptions of dental teachers about utilizing blended learning (BL) in undergraduate teaching following the COVID-19 pandemic. The objectives were to study their willingness to move to BL and to identify the reasons for their willingness or lack thereof for this transition. Materials and methods: This descriptive qualitative study is part of doctoral research that was conducted among health sciences teachers from the state of Maharashtra, India. The population for this study included all dental teachers from the 38 dental colleges in the state. To ensure proper representation of teachers, a proportionate stratified sampling method was used. The research tool used in this study was developed and validated, and data collection was conducted online using SurveyMonkey. Results: The results showed that 137 (97.16%) teachers were inclined toward utilizing BL. Thematic analysis of the responses received was carried out using NVivo software. Around 10 main emergent themes were identified, which were grouped under four key areas. The majority of the dental teachers were appreciative of the benefits of BL in terms of accessibility, flexibility, and learner engagement, but some preferred traditional teaching methods. Conclusion: For the dental teachers to continue with BL in instruction, there is a need to empower them How to cite this article: Lele G, Sikdar M.
