1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Objective Active learning has been effective in improving diagnostic skills for dental caries, but its impact on erosive tooth wear (ETW) remains unclear. Additionally, the influence of online education in dentistry is not well understood. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of active learning, in both online and face-to-face (F2F) formats, on dentistry students' knowledge and diagnostic abilities related to ETW. Method Four groups of graduating dentistry students received different educational interventions: lecture online (L
