Awareness, perceptions and barriers to digital dentistry adoption among dentists in India: A questionnaire survey.
Article in Bioinformation, 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
Studies in India report general awareness of digital dentistry among dental practitioners; however, its clinical use remains inconsistent. There are significant gaps in practical understanding, particularly of advanced digital tools. Assessing dentists' attitudes, barriers and identifying gaps in awareness are therefore essential to integrate digital dentistry in clinical practice. A cross-sectional, questionnaire-based online survey was conducted among 408 dentists by the Department of Periodontology, K. M. Shah Dental College and Hospital, Sumandeep Vidyapeeth Deemed to be University, Vadodara, Gujarat, India. The survey assessed knowledge and use of digital radiography, CBCT, smile design software, intraoral scanners and 3D printing. Digital radiography showed the highest adoption, followed by CBCT, while advanced digital tools had lower awareness and usage. Overall awareness was moderate, with adoption constrained by cost, integration issues and data security concerns, emphasizing the need for enhanced training in CBCT and oral radiology.
