Classification of postoperative bleeding severity by general dental practitioners in the National Dental Practice-Based Research Network: a survey-based assessment.
Article in Quintessence international (Berlin, Germany : 1985), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
objectiveThe objectives of this study were to: (1) describe how general dental practitioners (GDPs) in the National Dental Practice-Based Research Network ('Network') classify the severity of postoperative bleeding; and (2) examine the association between bleeding severity classification and whether the GDP had residency training. METHOD AND MATERIALS: An electronic questionnaire was developed to assess GDPs' classification of bleeding severity for various scenarios following scaling or a single-tooth simple extraction, and to collect information about respondents' experience with bleeding scenarios. A total of 1,815 GDP members of the Network were invited to participate.
resultsA total of 866 GDPs responded. Strong agreement (low variability) was observed for scenarios that were classified as 'severe bleeding' (94.7% to 96.8%), and lower agreement (higher variability) was observed for scenarios classified as 'moderate bleeding' (53.2% to 65.2%). The GDP's classification of bleeding severity was not correlated with training in a General Practice Residency (GPR) or Advanced Education in General Dentistry (AEGD). A minority of respondents had experience with 'major bleeding' that may lead to hemodynamic emergency (15.5%) or a referral to an emergency department (4.8%).
conclusionThis study identified scenarios for which there is high agreement and low agreement regarding bleeding severity classification among GDPs in the US. A small percentage of respondents had actual experience with major bleeding in their patients. Based on these results, a new tool is proposed to assess the severity of oral bleeding, intended to foster better communication between dental professionals. The new tool may assist GDPs to standardize documentation and communication with other health care professionals. (Quintessence Int 2025;56:668-679; doi: 10.3290/j.qi.b6376527).
