Vietnamese Validation of the Index of Dental Anxiety and Fear: A Cross-sectional Study.
Article in Journal of International Society of Preventive & Community Dentistry. 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
Aim: To cross-culturally adapt and validate the Vietnamese version of the Index of Dental Anxiety and Fear - Core Module (IDAF-4C) and assess its psychometric properties among adult dental patients in Vietnam. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 243 adult patients at a university dental hospital in Hanoi. The English IDAF-4C was translated into Vietnamese (V-IDAF-4C) following established cross-cultural adaptation guidelines. Reliability was assessed using Cronbach's Results: The V-IDAF-4C demonstrated excellent internal consistency (Cronbach's Conclusion: The Vietnamese IDAF-4C demonstrates good validity and reliability for assessing the multidimensional aspects of dental anxiety and fear. It is a suitable tool for clinicians and researchers in Vietnam to screen for dental anxiety and fear, which can help in developing tailored patient management strategies and more effective treatment plans.
