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 assessed undergraduate dental students' self-confidence in performing endodontic procedures and examined factors influencing their competence, including academic performance, year of study, and place of residence. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among dental students in Saudi Arabia using a structured questionnaire. Participants self-assessed their confidence levels in different endodontic procedures using a 5-point Likert scale. Statistical analysis included Results: Students exhibited high confidence in simpler procedures, such as rubber dam placement (78.6%), but reported lower confidence in treating molars (33.3%) and handling interappointment flare-ups (51.6%). Higher GPA and clinical experience significantly improved confidence ( Conclusion: Enhanced curriculum modifications, simulation-based training, and clinical exposure to complex cases are essential to improve confidence levels and preparedness among dental students.
