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: Although teeth whitening is preferred after orthodontic treatment, aesthetic demands may generate a different indication. Aim: To determine the factors associated with indication of tooth whitening during orthodontic treatment. Material and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted using an online survey for participation of 200 dentists who frequently performed fixed orthodontic treatment. The validity and reliability of a 10 questions instrument was determined, content was entered into Survey Monkey software to generate delivery links. The instrument was sent through social networks with instant messaging and email. The bivariate analysis of associated factors was evaluated with Chi Square test and logistic regression was used to identify risk or protective factors for indication of tooth whitening. Results: In bivariate analysis, it was found that dentist's specialization in orthodontics ( Conclusions: The decision to indicate tooth whitening during orthodontic treatment is low. However, this initial decision could be affected by intensity of tooth staining, pigmentation habits and patient's self-perceived need for dental aesthetics; but mainly by orthodontics specialization of dentist.
