Awareness of gingival retraction before final impression procedures among interns at Saudi Arabia: A cross-sectional study.
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
Mechanical gingival retraction using a plain retraction cord has been regularly practiced before impression making in fixed Prosthodontics. Therefore, it is of interest to assess the knowledge and awareness of a variety of gingival displacement methods before impression making in fixed Prosthodontics among dental students. A questionnaire-based survey was administered to dental students and interns at Qassim University. Participants completed a questionnaire concerning their awareness and knowledge of gingival displacement techniques, including the reasons for use and adverse effects and complications. Most participants recognized the importance of gingival retraction in clinical practice but were unaware of its potential complications and adverse effects. Comprehensive educational programs are necessary to improve student and intern knowledge of gingival retraction advancements and side effects.
