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/
aimTraumatic dental injuries (TDIs) are the most common cause of emergency dental treatment among children. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the ToothSOS application on the awareness regarding TDI emergency management among parents of children with a history of TDI. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe study was carried out by administering questionnaires to parents who visited the clinic between April 2023 and April 2024 due to TDIs in their children. The questionnaire was divided into five sections. The final section of the questionnaire was delivered at three different periods: before downloading the ToothSOS application (T0), after reviewing the application (T1), and 1-month post-download (T2). The data were analyzed using Friedman, Bonferroni, and multivariate linear regression tests.
resultsOver half of the participants (59.4%) were aged between 36 and 45 years, 60.9% were female, and 44.5% were high school graduates. At baseline, 96.1% of the participants had no prior knowledge about TDIs and were unaware of the ToothSOS application. Based on the participants' knowledge levels, at T0, 97.7% were deemed inadequate-low. At T1, 92.2% were adequate-high, and 7.8% acceptable-moderate. At T2, 39.8% were inadequate-low, 53.1% acceptable-moderate, and 7% adequate-high. Statistically significant differences were found between the median values of the scores at each period (p < 0.05). The score difference between T0 and T1 was significantly impacted by parents' having a high school education and having two children in the family (p < 0.05).
conclusionsUsing the ToothSOS application significantly improved parents' awareness of emergency management for TDIs.
