Evaluating Conventional Syringe with Camouflage Syringe with Starry Smile Quest: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Article in International journal of clinical pediatric dentistry, 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
Aim: To evaluate the effectiveness of passive distraction during local anesthesia (LA) administration, this study uses a sensory-modified dental environment featuring partial darkness and lighting effects, comparing conventional and camouflage syringes. Objective: To evaluate the effect of administering LA using different syringe methods among children aged 6-11 years. Methodology: About 66 children who met the inclusion/exclusion criteria were randomly divided into three groups using the lottery method (group A = 22, group B = 22, and group C = 22). Results: Group C (camouflage syringe with Starry Smile Quest) showed significantly higher SpO Conclusion: It has been shown that using camouflaged syringes with Starry Smile Quest can improve children's behavior and reduce their anxiety when administering LA. Additionally, the use of camouflaged syringes is advised as an alternative to traditional syringes for LA. How to cite this article: Saxena S, Vashisth P, Naik S,
