Attitudes towards the role of sports dentistry in high-performance teams: A panel discussion.
Article in South African journal of sports medicine, 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
Sports dentistry is an emerging area within Sports Medicine that focuses on the prevention, diagnosis and management of oral pathologies in the athletic population. It is not yet a formally recognised subspecialty; however, it is seeking to gain wider acceptance within the context of sports medicine. Oral health is increasingly being linked to overall athlete well-being and performance. The role of the sports dentist encompasses a broad range of oral pathologies that may present in athletes, including oral trauma, periodontal disease, and temporomandibular disorders. Within a high-performance setting, the role of the sports dentist may become integral in the prevention, management and reduction of time-loss due to avoidable dental pathologies. In South Africa, the establishment of the South African Sports Dentistry Association highlights the growing momentum to formalise the field and embed it within the broader high-performance network. Sports dentistry is an evolving field with the potential to enhance player welfare, safety and longevity.
