Level of knowledge and attitude of spanish primary school teachers regarding tooth avulsion.
Article in Journal of clinical and experimental dentistry, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Nowadays, traumatic dental injuries (TDIs) have a growing prevalence and incidence worldwide, reaching their highest numbers in school-age children. The management of dental avulsion requires an important challenge for the clinicians and the prognosis depends on an immediate and an appropriate emergency action. In this regard, primary school teachers are in a privileged position to assist injured children. Objective: To assess the knowledge and attitudes of primary school teachers regarding the proper management of dental avulsion in schoolchildren. Material and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in Spain, including teachers from schools distributed throughout the Spanish territory, selected randomly. The sample consisted of 240 teachers. An ad hoc questionnaire, distributed in physical and online formats, was used to assess their knowledge on the proper management of dental avulsion in schoolchildren. Results: A very high response rate was obtained (80%). The majority of the participants were unable to reimplant the tooth (76.3%), and they lacked knowledge of the appropriate medium for its optimal preservation (85.8%). Conclusions: This study suggests that there is an inadequate level of knowledge about the management of dental avulsion injuries among primary school teachers in Spain. It would be necessary to design educational strategies to improve this situation.
