1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

There is a scarcity of data regarding knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) of endodontists about cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), which may be related to the lack of valid and reliable measures. The present study aimed to develop and validate a KAP measure about CBCT. The developed measure showed good content validity and was administered to 506 endodontists. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis revealed a factorial structure composed of three factors (KAP) with 13 items. The measure showed evidence of good internal consistency and discriminant validity, being able to accurately discriminate KAP according to the length of experience and level of education. Taken together, results provided evidence of good psychometric properties of a new KAP measure regarding CBCT, allowing future research in the field.
