Barriers to Utilization of Oral Healthcare in Dental Students: A Cross-sectional Survey.
Article in Journal of pharmacy & bioallied sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Barriers in dental health care utilization in students of dental college are rarely documented. Good oral health is equally essential as general health, and regular dental care utilization is a key to maintain good oral health. Materials and Method: The present cross-sectional survey was conducted at Dental College of Deemed University, Navi Mumbai. A structured, self-administered questionnaire consisted of 10 questions was given online to students. Among all 325 responded. Collected data were kept confidential and tabulated. Results: Most of the participants knew that general health can get affected by poor oral health and they are satisfied with the treatment provided by the institute. Most of them had last dental care visit within past 6 months. They strongly disagree with the statement that dental problems are not serious and they have never cancelled or postponed appointment due to cost. Conclusion: From the present study, it can be seen that there is a remarkable difference in knowledge, attitude and practices of dental students toward dental healthcare utilization.
