1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Tooth avulsion is an emergency dentoalveolar trauma, and knowledge of this condition can improve the prognosis of trauma. This study aimed to assess and improve elementary school teachers' knowledge of tooth avulsion using two educational intervention methods. Data were obtained through a parallel, blinded educational intervention study involving 116 teachers from public and private schools. They participated and completed a structured questionnaire regarding the immediate measures required for dentoalveolar trauma to permanent teeth, storage methods, and the ideal time for the dental element to remain outside the socket. After randomly assigning teachers to the leaflet and video groups, they were provided guidance on dentoalveolar trauma and completed the questionnaire again. Comparison tests, namely chi-square and logistic regression, were performed to assess the post-intervention responses and compare the differences between the groups. The results were interpreted with a significance level of 5% and a 95% confidence interval. Most responses showed a statistically significant difference (p < 0.05), indicating that the interventions improved teachers' knowledge, except for questions on time and immediate management after dentoalveolar trauma (p > 0.05). There was no statistical difference between the intervention methods, demonstrating that both the leaflets and videos improved teachers' knowledge (p > 0.05). The results revealed that teachers' knowledge of tooth avulsion improved regardless of the format of the educational intervention.
