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: Exposure to chemical substances is one of the occupational hazards among dentists. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the changes in chemical exposure and control measures in general dental offices in Isfahan city, Iran, from 2001 to 2023. Materials and Methods: This study was performed with a repeated cross-sectional design. 184 offices were surveyed in 2001 and 250 offices in 2003. Data were collected by a researcher-made checklist. This tool has four parts, including questions related to demographic characteristics, questions related to the time period of exposure, questions related to exposure type and its consequences, and questions related to control measures. Results: The results showed that although the use of some chemicals has increased or remained unchanged, the use of most chemicals, such as resin-based dental restorative materials, acid etch materials, latex, dental plaster, common disinfectants, and hand hygiene products, has decreased in 2023 compared to 2001 ( Conclusion: These findings highlight the importance of improving workplace conditions, implementing control measures, and applying less hazardous materials in dental offices.
