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
backgroundPatient-Centered Care (PCC) is one of the basic components of improving treatment quality, enhancing treatment outcomes, reducing treatment costs, and increasing patient satisfaction. The purpose of this study was to assess general dentists’ attitudes toward PCC care and the factors associated with it.
methodsThrough this cross-sectional study conducted in Rasht, Iran, data was collected using the Patient-Practitioner Orientation Scale (PPOS), which featured demographic information about the dentists and their attitudes. Using WhatsApp for communication with participants and a local survey platform as the electronic data form, 284 dentists completed the questionnaire. Independent t-tests, one-sample t-tests, and Pearson’s correlation coefficient were conducted to analyze factors associated with PCC.
resultsThe average overall PPOS score among dentists was calculated to be 3.45 ± 0.60 (out of 5), while the scores for the sharing and care subscales were 3.44 ± 0.73 and 3.46 ± 0.62, respectively. Sex, work history, and educational background did not exhibit a significant relationship with PCC.
conclusionThe level of patient-centered care among dentists in Rasht city follows the doctor-centered approach. Therefore, it is suggested that a patient-centered approach be improved for successful outcomes and patient satisfaction.
