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
Background/purpose: Manual dexterity training is essential for dental students. The implementation of virtual reality haptic-based dental simulator Simodont (Nissin Inc., Nieuw-Vennep, Netherlands) can provide the real-time feedback in pre-clinical learning. The aim of this study was hypothesized that Simodont may act as a valuable assessment tool in predicting the performance of pre-clinical crown preparation. Materials and methods: This retrospective cohort study was to analyze total 84 dental students' performance among manual dexterity exercises on Simodont, crown preparation on Simodont, and crown preparation test on phantom head. Spearman's correlation coefficient (r) was used to examine the relationships of performances among three groups. Subgroup analysis with dichotomous performance (low/high) and sex difference were further analyzed by chi-square test. Results: Positive correlation was found between crown preparation test in phantom head and manual dexterity exercises on Simodont ( Conclusion: Taken together, our data revealed the potential of Simodont in the prediction of dental students' subsequent crown preparation test in conventional phantom head.
