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

Practice-Based Research Networks (PBRN) are optimal settings for research to be conducted in the real world of clinical practice where the majority of care is provided. In this narrative review, we provide an overview of the National Dental Practice-Based Research Network (Network), which is one of the largest and most successful Dental PBRNs, and its impact on orthodontics. The Network is currently in its third seven-year round of funding and has conducted 58 studies to date. There are over 8,000 members enrolled in the Network. The largest prospective cohort study on anterior open bites was conducted through the Network. The Network provides resources and opportunities to engage clinicians in practice-based participatory research where clinical studies with direct impact on clinical outcomes are conducted.
