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
aimsTo investigate and compare the experiences of specialists in pediatric and special care dentistry (SCD) using social stories as a management tool in the dental treatment of individuals on the autism spectrum
methodsA 34-item online questionnaire was designed and distributed to specialists in Queensland. Univariate data were analyzed and graphed.
resultsA response rate of 62% was achieved. Results showed that 72% of participants agreed with the statement that "social stories are useful when treating patients with autism." More respondents reported using paper-based social stories (44%) than app-based (33%); however, 61% of participants responded they were more likely to use an app-based social story when given the choice. There was no statistically significant association between perception of social story usefulness and type of specialty (p = 0.627). As autism level of support increased, there was a decrease in perceived benefits of social stories (94% for ASD level 1 vs. 44% for ASD level 3).
conclusionThis study showed that both Queensland specialists in pediatric dentistry and SCD find social stories to be a useful tool in the management of patients with autism. Further research would enable greater insights into the perception of social stories among dental specialists across Australia.
