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

Transgender individuals face significant health disparities, including limited access to appropriate healthcare services. This study aimed to assess the oral healthcare-seeking behavior (HSB) of transgender people in Kerala. A cross-sectional study was conducted between July 2022 and September 2023 among 120 transgender individuals by using snowball sampling. Participants completed a self-administered questionnaire assessing their oral HSB. The Chi-square test was used to analyze the association of sociodemographic variables with oral health knowledge, attitude, and dental service utilization. Statistical significance was set at
