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 and Aims: This study aimed to assess the correlation between dental fear and anxiety problems and evaluate factors associated with dental fear. Methods: In this study, we utilized the standard Persian version of the Children's Fear Survey Schedule-Dental Subscale (CFSS-DS) questionnaire and the Persian version of Spence Children's Anxiety Scale (SCAS) questionnaire to explore children's dental fear and anxiety problems, respectively. Questionnaires were completed by 290 children aged 8-12 years who visited Pediatrics Department of Babol Dental Clinic and private pediatric offices. Demographic characteristics were also recorded. The data were analyzed by the one-way ANOVA, independent Results: In this study, 151 boys and 139 girls were included. Based on the CFSS-DS questionnaire, 8.6% of children had dental fear (Scores > 38). Dental fear correlated with all aspects of anxiety symptoms ( Conclusion: The findings of the present study suggest that dental fear and anxiety problems correlate with each other, and factors such as child's age, the location of dental treatment, and having a housewife mother serve as prominent factors contributing to dental fear of children.
