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
introductionTeachers play a crucial role in first aid for dental trauma (DT), as children spend a large part of their time in schools. In these environments, accidents are frequent. Immediate and correct intervention is essential for prognosis.
aimTo assess the attitudes of teachers in the municipal school system in the municipality of Vitória-ES towards different DT scenarios and to associate them with socioeconomic, demographic, and functional variables. MATERIAL AND
methodsA quantitative, cross-sectional, and probabilistic study was carried out. Data was collected using self-administered and validated questionnaires, covering sociodemographic and functional information and teachers' knowledge of DT. To this end, teachers' attitudes were classified as correct or incorrect and assessed considering three different DT scenarios: 1-crown fracture; 2-lateral luxation; 3-tooth avulsion. Descriptive analyses, frequency tables, and statistical analyses using the chi-square test (p < 0.05) were carried out. A total of 292 teachers from 37 schools took part in the study.
resultsAmong the participants, 137 (46.9%) teachers had already witnessed cases of DT, 94 (68.6%) of which had occurred in the school environment. In addition, 274 (93.8%) of the teachers had never received formal guidance. In scenario 3 (tooth avulsion), only 18.3% of teachers answered correctly. Teachers who had received training in dental trauma had (33.3%) correct answers and (66.7%) incorrect answers. Teachers who had not received training got (13.1%) correct, while (86.9%) got it wrong. This difference was statistically significant (p = 0.03). Similarly, teachers who had experienced dental trauma showed a potentially significant association (p = 0.05) with correct attitudes.
conclusionThere was a high frequency of inappropriate behavior in the event of tooth avulsion, highlighting the need for first aid training. This reinforces the need for educational interventions in the school environment, aimed at providing adequate training in the correct handling of dental emergencies.
