Evaluation of upper extremity-related musculoskeletal disorder of dental students using hand scalers of three different dimensions: A clinical study.
Article in Journal of Indian Society of Periodontology. 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
Introduction: Dentists are more prone to developing work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) owing to stringent biomechanical and ergonomic demands. Aim: This study aims to evaluate MSDs related to work in dental students before and after hand scaling, using hand scalers of three different dimensions. Materials and Methods: In this study, 72 dental students were involved. Hand scaling was performed on sextant 5. Thirty-six students performed scaling with three sets of hand scalers of varying weight and dimension. The study was progressed after obtaining the results. Group A ( Results: There was a significant difference before and after scaling in the second set of instruments. More significant difference was seen before and after scaling among students who received hand exercise training and males exerted higher pinch force in all types of grips compared to females.
