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

Background: Early dental experiences play an important role in shaping a child's attitude toward dentistry. Non-pharmacological behavior management techniques such as Tell-Play-Do (TPD), modeling, and Tell-Show-Do (TSD) aim to reduce dental anxiety and improve cooperation during treatment. Aim: To compare the effectiveness of Tell-Play-Do and Filmed Modeling, integrated with the Tell-Show-Do method, with Tell-Show-Do alone among children aged 4-7 year during restorative treatment. Materials & method: This randomized clinical trial included 99 children (Frankl rating 2 or 3) requiring restorative treatment. Participants were randomly allocated to three groups: Group 1 (TPD), Group 2 (Filmed Modeling), and Group 3 (TSD). Behavior was assessed using the Facial Image Scale (FIS), and anxiety levels were measured using pulse rate at four different intervals: before intervention, after intervention, during the procedure, and at the end of the procedure. Data were analyzed using ANOVA, the Kruskal-Wallis test, paired t-tests, and the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Results: All three groups showed a reduction in anxiety over time, as indicated by decreasing FIS scores and pulse rates. Significant reduction was observed in TPD and filmed modeling groups in within-group comparisons. Pulse rate analysis demonstrated a statistically significant decrease from baseline to the end of the procedure in the TPD and Filmed Modeling groups. Conclusion: Tell-Play-Do and Filmed Modeling are more effective than the TSD technique in reducing dental anxiety among children.The study protocol was registered on the Central Trials Registry - India (CTRI/2023/08/057068).
