Art therapy-oriented space design for pediatric dental clinics: a Kano-AHP-FCE framework.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. 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
This study takes the needs of pediatric dental patients as the starting point and integrates art therapy concepts into the space design of pediatric dental clinics, with the goal of enhancing both the treatment experience and clinical efficiency. By applying the Kano model and Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), a comprehensive evaluation and design framework tailored to pediatric dental care requirements was established to assess art-therapy-oriented spatial experiences. Subsequently, practical design interventions were implemented and validated through Fuzzy Comprehensive Evaluation (FCE). The optimized scheme, which emphasized key elements such as parent accompaniment area, rich spatial color schemes, non-slip antibacterial flooring, independent treatment zone, warm ambient tones, child-safe corner protection, and overhead interactive projection, achieved a 26.58% higher comprehensive satisfaction score than the original clinic environment. The integrated Kano-AHP-FCE framework effectively links children's psychological and functional needs with spatial strategies for art therapy-oriented pediatric dental clinics. This study provides a replicable methodology and practical design guidelines for child-centered healing environments in contemporary healthcare settings.
