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.

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 and Aims: Oral health issues present substantial obstacles for children and teenagers globally, affecting their holistic health. With Iranian children experiencing a high prevalence of dental cavities, understanding their utilization of dental services and the influencing factors is essential. Therefore, this study examined the utilization of dental and oral health services by children aged 6 to 14 at healthcare centers in Karaj, Iran, in 2019-2021. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study included 361 children between 6 and 14 years old who visited healthcare centers in Karaj for dental services. The researchers developed a questionnaire to collect data. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS-21 software, Smirnov-Kolmogorov, and Spearman's correlation test. Results: Analysis of the data indicated that the utilization of dental and oral health services had significant correlations with the place of residence ( Conclusions: Advocate for policies promoting oral health equity, addressing dental service access disparities, and supporting preventive measures in underserved communities, provision of insurance coverage for dental services can lead to improving the oral health of children.
