Aggressive behavior towards hospital dental staff: an original flash survey in a dental department in France.
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
Aggressiveness in the workplace affects millions of professionals working in hospital. For those who are exposed, the resulting stress and anxiety can lead to a significant decline in their quality of work life, impair their ability to perform tasks, and contribute directly or indirectly to absenteeism. Aim and design: through a flash survey conducted within a dental medicine department in a French University Hospital, we estimated the frequency at which hospital staff and dental students were exposed to aggressive situations in the workplace. Results based on data collected from 181 participants, the estimated incidence of aggression was 55 per staff member per year (including dental students). The most frequent manifestation was verbal aggression. Dental assistants were the most exposed (p < 0.003). Conclusions: aggression in the dental workplace exists and requires preventive measures and management of these situations from the training stage onwards, as well as support for employees.
