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
PURPOSES/
objectivesTo present the latest landscape on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) focused on people within Canadian dental and dental hygiene academic environments through results obtained from the 2022 American Dental Education Association (ADEA) climate study. METHODOLOGY: This cross-sectional survey investigated the participant`s views on the workplace climate. Students, staff, and faculty members from dental schools and dental hygiene programs participated. The survey was distributed by ADEA in Canada between January and March 2022. The survey was composed of 120 statements divided into domains/topics. The statement included Yes/No, Yes/No/I Do Not Know, open-ended, multiple choice using a 5-point Likert scale, and written words. The higher the mean value on the Likert scale (close to 5), the higher the agreement with the statement (strongly agree). Some statements were reported as percentages. Open-ended questions were reported descriptively. Written words were used to construct word clouds.
resultsEight (83.3%) out of 10 Dental Schools and 12 (32.4%) out of 37 Dental Hygiene Programs participated. Total number of participants was 907 individuals. The workplace climate in Canadian Dental Schools and Dental Hygiene Programs was rated 3.46 (± 1.16) on a Likert Scale from 1 to 5, and it was described upon 1307 affirmative and 607 negative words expressing mostly feelings. Likert Scale means remained between 3.49 and 4.57.
conclusionsParticipants were neutral with a tendency to be satisfied with the overall environment of their workplace. Participants were neutral in relation to well-being, sense of belonging, and inclusive culture. They agreed that their workplace had a welcoming atmosphere, equitable practices, and policies, and was culturally adequate. Several participants experienced and/or witnessed microaggressions, discrimination, and harassment, and most of them have not reported the incident. Strategies to make the school/program more inclusive included orientation activities and appreciation celebrations.
