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

Climate change poses a significant threat to oral health and the sustainability of dental care systems. Therefore, it is of interest to assess the dental students' knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) on climate change and sustainability. While most understood the environmental impact and felt responsible, fewer individuals adopted sustainable practices, such as maintaining digital records and segregating waste. Barriers included a lack of training and institutional support. The findings underscore the need for curriculum reforms and policy adjustments to foster sustainability in dentistry.
