Article in Health science reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Objectives: This study aims to explore the correlation of psychological domains and behavioural engagement with ChatGPT among undergraduate dental students. Material and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted using a self-administered questionnaire (supporting material) distributed to 130 undergraduate dental students of a dental school in Karachi, Pakistan. The questionnaire assessed the frequency and purpose of ChatGPT usage across academic domains and specific learning contexts. It also evaluated students' attitudes, perceptions, and behaviors using a Likert scale. Descriptive statistics were used for analysis, while Spearman's correlation tests were applied to examine subgroup differences and relationships between attitudes and behaviors. Results: Most participants reported learning about ChatGPT through peers or friends ( Conclusion: Undergraduate dental students showed cautious but receptive attitudes toward ChatGPT, with psychological factors such as trust and perceived usefulness significantly shaping behavioral engagement. While the tool was mainly used for foundational learning, these findings support the need for structured, faculty-guided integration of AI in dental education.
