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: Forensic dentistry deals with handling, examination, and evaluation of dental records, which are also required for medicolegal purpose. Digital forensic science has revolutionised the traditional forensic investigation by development of software and digital records. This results in quick identification and allows extraction of a large amount of data with less bias. As the conventional forensic procedures are tedious and time-consuming, there is a need for a digital platform that may help registration of dental records of all patients. Aim: The study aims to assess the knowledge regarding Digital Dental Record Platform as a forensic aid for personal identification among the dental practitioners. Methodology: After validation of the prepared questionnaire, it was circulated digitally as a google form and manually among dental practitioners in Belagavi city. The results obtained were tabulated and statistically analysed. Results: 94.4% respondents thought that there is a need for a centralised digital platform to maintain dental records in India and it will be useful if the Indian government links the centralised dental record database with Aadhaar (91.7%). 92.6% respondents were willing to be a part of program where dental records are updated to a centralised digital platform. Conclusion: India lacks a centralised digital platform as compared to western countries for forensic identification. Thus, there is a need for centralised digital dental record repository under Government of India which will be easily accessible for effective victim identification. A dentist plays a major role in this initiative as teeth and dental structures survive adverse conditions.
