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
Background and Aim: The quality of dental service provision has a special place in dentistry. This study investigated the quality of dental service provision based on the SERVQUAL model from the perspective of professors, students, and nurses at the School of Dentistry of Kerman University of Medical Sciences in 2021-2022. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive-analytical study was conducted among 410 participants, including professors, students, and nurses. Data were collected using the SERVQUAL questionnaire assessing six dimensions of service quality: tangibility, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, empathy, and accessibility. Results: The data revealed that there was a significant difference in the perception of professors and students about the quality of dental services in tangibility, reliability, responsiveness, and accessibility, while empathy and assurance were rated similarly. A significant difference was observed between the perceptions of students and nurses about tangibility and responsiveness. Conclusion: The professors, students, and nurses in this study had moderately positive attitudes toward the quality of dental service delivery at the Kerman School of Dentistry. The highest score was assigned to service assurance, and the lowest score was assigned to service accessibility.
