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: Due to severe coronal destruction, endodontically treated teeth (ETT) often require intracanal posts to provide retention for the restorative material. This study aimed to evaluate the opinions and practices of Iranian dentists regarding the selection of intracanal posts for ETT reconstruction. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among dentists in Kurdistan province, a region of west of Iran,, who have experience in performing ETT reconstruction. A questionnaire was designed, comprising two parts: the first part collected demographic information. The second part assessed the criteria for selecting post systems for ETT, including 12 questions that inquired about the placement of intracanal posts, indications for post placement, post material preferences, post length and diameter, and fabrication methods. Collected data were coded and analyzed using SPSS version 20 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA). Results: Totally, 96.6% of the participants used posts for ETT. They believed that not all ETT require a post. Also, 53.8% believed that posts do not reinforce ETT; 83.8% mentioned the remaining tooth structure to be the main criterion in choosing between prefabricated and cast posts and cores. Cast posts and cores were used in 62.4% of anterior and 56.4% of posterior teeth. Prefabricated metal posts were used by 68.3% of dentists. Also, 51.3% used base metal alloys for the cast posts and cores; 44.4% stated that at least 4 mm of gutta-percha must remain at the apex, and 45.3% stated that the post diameter should be one-third of the root diameter. Conclusion: The study found that Iranian dentists have varying opinions and practices regarding the selection of intracanal posts for endodontically treated teeth reconstruction, with a preference for cast posts and cores and base metal alloys, and consideration of remaining tooth structure as the main criterion for post selection.
