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
purposeThis study evaluated the dental care experiences and parental attitudes amongst children with haemophilia in China.
methodsA cross-sectional questionnaire surveyed parents of children with haemophilia A or B, covering demographics, dental experiences and attitudes toward dental care. Descriptive statistics and chi-square tests were used to analyse the data.
resultsA total of 125 valid questionnaires were obtained. 45.6% (57 parents) reported that their children had experienced dental pain in the past year, yet 26.3% (15 parents) did not seek dental treatment. Of those without dental pain, 60.3% (41 children) had not visited a dentist. Common reasons included parents considering the dental issues not severe and believing that primary teeth would eventually fall out, making treatment unnecessary. Although 55.2% (69 children) had visited a dentist, 30.4% (21 children) of them had been denied dental care due to their haemophilia. Additionally, amongst the 125 surveyed parents, 18.4% (23 parents) chose to conceal their child's haemophilia history when visiting a dentist, mainly due to concerns about being denied treatment. Even with standardised treatment guidelines, 40% (50 parents) of them distrusted dentists unfamiliar with haemophilia to provide appropriate dental care for their children based on the guidelines.
conclusionSignificant gaps exist in oral health awareness and dental care access for children with haemophilia in China. Addressing the gaps requires educational efforts for parents and enhanced training for dental professionals.
