Knowledge and practice gaps in the emergency management practices of children with dental trauma: a cross-sectional survey among primary school health teachers and parents in Urumqi.

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
backgroundDental trauma management knowledge gaps among primary school health teachers and parents in Urumqi contribute to suboptimal paediatric oral health outcomes. This study identifies critical misconceptions concerning the critical 30-minute window for avulsed teeth to inform targeted interventions and policy reforms.
methodsA cross-sectional survey was conducted over 6 months via a Chinese-language questionnaire. The random sampling included 267 primary school health teachers and 1,420 parents from four of Urumqi's seven districts. The data were analysed via constituent ratios and chi-square tests.
resultsValid responses were collected from 249 teachers and 1420 parents. Prevalence and training: 66.3% (165) of the teachers encountered dental trauma, but only 37.3% (93) had formal training. Emergency management: Only 3.6% of teachers (9) attempted immediate tooth reinsertion. Knowledge of storage media varied: physiological saline 45.4% (113), milk 18.5% (46), or keeping the tooth in the mouth 9.2% (23). Critical knowledge: Finally, just 31.7% (79) understood the 30-minute window for avulsed teeth.
conclusionMandatory dental trauma training for school health teachers and parent education campaigns are urgently needed. Policy reforms should integrate standardized dental emergency protocols into school health curricula.
