Note bloat.
Article in British dental journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
This article provides an overview of the composition and purpose of record-keeping in dental practice and in the context of a General Dental Council (GDC) fitness to practise (FtP) investigation. It includes an overview of the GDC's FtP process. The importance of making appropriate patient records from a dento-legal perspective is also highlighted, together with changing trends in record-keeping in the United Kingdom over the past 50 years and factors that have contributed to 'note bloat' - a term that describes unnecessarily lengthy (at times, superfluous) records. It calls for a shift in current practice and explores alternative options for record-keeping in a more concise way and discusses how this may be achieved.
