Article in International journal of dentistry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Introduction: Orofacial clefts require multidisciplinary management and if not properly intervened can impair various functions and reduce the quality of life of the patient. Good knowledge about orofacial clefts is very important for health students to prepare for comprehensive case management. The purpose of this study was to determine the level of knowledge and awareness of Padjadjaran University health students regarding orofacial clefts. Methods: This study used a cross-sectional method with a survey study, where the measuring instrument used was a questionnaire given online to undergraduate students of dentistry, medicine, midwifery, and nursing at Padjadjaran University with a total population of 2611 students. The sample was taken by stratified random sampling using the binomial proportion sample size formula with a minimum of 315 respondents from all study programs. The questionnaire was self-developed with 16 questions in the knowledge section and eight questions in the awareness section. This questionnaire underwent validity and reliability testing, with results exceeding the correlation coefficient value (0.361) and Cronbach's Results: Respondents were predominantly female (89.2%), aged 20-22 years (65.4%), and from urban areas (62.2%). The majority (52.7%) of students had good knowledge of orofacial clefts, with dental students showing the best knowledge. A total of 77.5% of respondents had good awareness, with dentistry's the highest (97.6%). Knowledge and awareness increased with age and level of study. Students who had attended orofacial clefts lectures showed better knowledge and awareness than those who had not. Conclusion: The majority of health students had good knowledge and awareness of the orofacial clefts, increasing with semester and related course experience, with variation between courses showing differences in curriculum emphasis.
