Are technological contributions in behavior guidance techniques superior to conventional methods?: Effects on dental anxiety and pain perception.
Observational study in BMC oral health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06912789 (Are Technological Contributions in Behavior Guidance Techniques Superior to Conventional Methods?), which is not on this map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.

Abstract
backgroundTo evaluate the effects of three different behavior guidance methods on children's dental anxiety levels and pain perception.
methodsThis study included 63 children aged 6-8 years who required pulpotomy and were divided into three groups: tell-show-do (TSD; Group 1), TSD with video modeling (Group 2), and TSD with mobile phone application (Group 3). Systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), heart rate (HR), and hemoglobin oxygen saturation (SPO
resultsNo significant difference was found between the steps in terms of BP, HR, and SPO
conclusionDental anxiety and pain perception scores were lowest when using TSD with mobile phone application (Group 3). In line with developing technology, the use of mobile phone applications in pediatric dentistry can contribute to more harmonious treatment management in children.
trial registrationThe trial protocol was retrospectively registered ID NCT06912789 ( https://clinicaltrials.gov/ ); 2025-03-26.
