Occupational diseases in dentistry: Prevention.
Review in Journal of clinical and experimental 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
Background: Dentists, in the practice of their profession, are exposed to infectious diseases (most commonly hepatitis and HIV), biological accidents involving needles or sharp instruments and chemical intoxication from disinfectants, cements or dental resins. Also, they may suffer musculoskeletal disorders due to bad ergonomic postures, hearing loss and eye splashes or vision loss due to curing light, intense artificial lighting from dental units and constant visual strain in a limited space. Moreover, mental illnesses have been detected such as psychological issues like stress, fatigue, burnout, and depression. They are exposed to ionizing radiation and they may suffer from cancer more often than the general population. Materials and Methods: A bibliographic search was carried out in the following electronic databases: PubMed/MEDLINE and the Cochrane Library Plus. Results: Musculoskeletal problems, infectious diseases, visual and hearing impairments, and psychological disorders are some of the occupational diseases dentists may develop during their careers. A series of preventive measures are analyzed and proposed. Conclusions: The practice of dentistry carries the risk of various types of occupational diseases, which must be understood and prevented.
