Statistical Reporting Quality in Dental Research: A Comparative Analysis by Journal Impact and Study Design.
Article in Contemporary clinical dentistry. 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
Background: Determine the statistical report quality of articles published in dental journals according to the level of impact of the journal and the study design. Methods: A random sample of original articles published in four journals of Results: The presence of at least one statistical error was high (85.6%), with 123 (83.7%) and 44 (91.7%) articles in high- and medium-impact journals, respectively. Two statistical errors were more common (32.3%). We found a relationship between the presence of some errors ( Conclusions: There is a low-quality statistical report of the evaluated dental articles, as errors are very common; among these errors, inaccurate descriptions of the
