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
introductionDomestic violence (DV) is a critical public health issue, and its detection and management are mandatory in the undergraduate curriculum of French healthcare professionals since 2010. While dentists can play a crucial role in detecting DV, education on DV is not uniformly implemented across French dental schools. This study aims to provide an overview of domestic violence education in undergraduate dental curricula in France, identify barriers to its implementation, and propose strategies for improvement. MATERIALS AND
methodsA descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted using a 13-item online questionnaire sent to the heads of education at all 15 French dental schools. Inclusion criteria focused on accredited dental schools offering undergraduate training. Participation was voluntary and anonymous, and informed consent was implied by survey submission. Data were analysed descriptively.
resultsAmong 15 dental schools, 11 (73%) responded. Six schools (54.5%) provided DV education, with a focus primarily on child abuse (100%), while intimate partner violence (66.6%) and elder abuse (20%) were less frequently addressed. Barriers included a lack of expertise among faculty (36.4%) and limited curriculum space (9.1%). Respondents favoured workshops and external speaker involvement to improve teaching.
conclusionThe findings highlight the need to expand DV education across French dental schools to cover all forms of violence and strengthen interdisciplinary approaches. Future efforts should focus on addressing identified barriers, integrating innovative teaching methods, and ensuring that DV education is integrated nationwide through a standardised curriculum.
