Assessment of Knowledge, Attitude, Practice, and Barriers to the Use of Teledentistry by Dental Professionals of India: A Cross-sectional Survey.
Article in International journal of clinical pediatric dentistry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Introduction: Telemedicine and teledentistry have become a necessity for the community these days. So, for better implementation, it is essential to recognize the existing state of knowledge, beliefs, attitudes, and practice about it among the dental professionals; hence, this survey was planned. Materials and methods: A self-designed online questionnaire consisting of 19 questions divided into three sections was sent to graduate and postgraduate dental professionals practicing in North India through e-mail and WhatsApp. The responses were stored in Microsoft Excel 2007 (Microsoft, Redmond, Washington) and analyzed using Statistical software SPSS version 20.0. Descriptive statistics and frequency distribution were examined using Pearson's Chi-squared test. A Results: A total of 384 dental professionals completed the questionnaire. In total, 327 (85.2%) respondents were aware of the term teledentistry. Only 33 (8.6%) individuals were able to mark all nine components of teledentistry whereas all others identified only a few components indicating lack of awareness. Only 29 (7.6%) participants have received some formal training on teledentistry. In total, 88% of participants are willing to attend training on teledentistry if provided a chance. In total, 306 (79.7%) respondents were willing to use teledentistry in the future. Discussion: The overall attitude toward teledentistry was overwhelmingly positive. Despite the positive attitudes and belief in the benefits of teledentistry, significant barriers to its widespread adoption were identified, including inadequate access to technology, lack of formal training, and concerns about the accuracy of diagnoses. Dental professionals demonstrated a high willingness to engage in further training and adopt teledentistry if provided with the necessary resources and support.
