1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Introduction: This study aimed to analyze the knowledge and attitudes of Brazilian Oral Medicine and Pathology (OM/OP) specialists about genetic diseases. Methods: A cross-sectional and descriptive study was conducted with Brazilian OM/OP specialists, using a pre-structured online formulary. Statistical analyses were performed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS®). The questionnaire was sent to 273 specialists, members of the Brazilian Society of Stomatology and Oral Pathology (SOBEP). Results: A total of 58 (21.2%) OM/OP specialists responded to the questionnaire. Most of the participants (67.2%) have declared attending theoretical courses on diagnosing and genetic testing for genetic diseases. Furthermore, 79.3% of participants reported that there are barriers to integration between the fields of Medical Genetics and OM/OP. Longer time working as a PhD was associated with knowledge of lesions predictive of genetic diseases ( Conclusions: There is limited integration between Medical Genetics and OM/OP. However, there is considerable knowledge about oral manifestations as indicators of genetic diseases among OM/OP experts.
