The problem with "borrowed" anatomy faculty: why medical anatomy isn't enough for dental education.
Review in Anatomy & cell biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
As dental schools increasingly share anatomy curricula with medical programs, a growing mismatch is emerging between what dental students need and receive. While head and neck anatomy is essential for all health professionals, dental students require significantly more detailed, region-specific anatomical knowledge, especially regarding the oral cavity, neurovascular structures, and surgical landmarks. Yet, this level of instruction is often delivered by medical school faculty unfamiliar with the unique clinical demands of dentistry. This commentary highlights the limitations of the "borrowed" faculty model and argues for dedicated, dental-aware anatomy educators actively engaged in anatomical research to ensure competent, confident clinical performance by future dentists.
