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

Aim: to evaluate the perceptions, knowledge, and attitudes of Jordanian dentists towards teledentistry. Methods: A web-based, anonymous, self-administered closed-end questionnaire was distributed across Jordan. Conducted with a sample of 250 dentists selected through convenience sampling, the research assessed knowledge and attitudes using a pre-designed and validated questionnaire. An electronic link was sent to active Jordanian Dental Association (JDA) members. The survey consisted of three sections with closed questions. Results: A total of 250 dentists (Male 52%) participated in the study. The mean knowledge and attitude scores were 78.78 ± 15.27 and 76.81 ± 14.74, respectively. Dentists without postgraduate qualifications demonstrated significantly greater knowledge compared to those with postgraduate qualifications ( Conclusion: Teledentistry has the potential to provide equitable, cost-effective, and high-quality dental care especially for individuals in remote areas with limited access to traditional dental care.
