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: The pediatric dentist's personality is subject to change owing to cultural, social, and technological changes. To achieve a successful treatment delivery, it is crucial to understand which aspect of a pedodontist's personality influences their clinical practice. Aim: This study aimed to explore the most influential factor that affects a pediatric dentist's personality. Methodology: This study used the mixed-methods sequential exploration technique. The qualitative phase included a semistructured interview (n=13) based on the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF) and Capability-Opportunity-Motivation-Behavior (COM-B) model. Weightage analysis identified social media as the most common theme among the responses. A quantitative phase then followed wherein responses from a validated questionnaire (n=343) based on the technology acceptance model tested whether social media influenced a pediatric dentist's personality. Results: The inter-rater reliability using Krippendorff's Alpha in the qualitative phase was 0.82, indicating a strong agreement for theme identification (social media). The responses were grouped based on the participants' age: Group I (n=64; age <30 years), Group II (n=186; age 31-50), Group III (n=93; age >51 years). Intergroup comparison using the Kruskal-Wallis test showed statistically significant differences across questions related to perceived usefulness (n=3), perceived ease of use (n=3), attitude towards use (n=2), behavioral intention to use (n=1), and actual use (n=2). Post hoc analysis, conducted using Mann-Whitney U-tests, revealed significant variations in responses between Group 1 & Group 2, and between Group 1 & Group 3. Conclusion: Across various age groups, social media does influence a pediatric dentist's personality and is a key aspect of E-Professionalism.
