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: Dental fear and anxiety are the major hurdles for providing successive treatment for children. Effective use of behavior guidance techniques is essential for addressing these challenges. Hence, this study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of reframing and tell-show-do (TSD) behavior guidance technique in reducing anxiety in children during dental procedures without and with administration of local anesthesia (LA). Subjects and Methods: Fifty children of 6-12 years of age with no previous dental experience were randomly assigned to either the reframing group or the TSD group. They underwent dental procedures without (restoration) and with administration of LA. Subjective anxiety was evaluated using the Venham Picture Scale (VPS) and physiologically by measuring pulse rate (PR) before and after the procedures. Results: The intragroup analysis was done using paired Conclusion: This study showed both reframing and TSD are effective in reducing anxiety for restorative procedures in children. However, reframing is better suited when LA administration is required.
