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
Dental caries in elementary school children can be prevented through dental health education and promotion in schools. Teachers play an important role in supporting children's oral health behaviors. The use of web-based applications as a health promotion medium is expected to improve the effectiveness of dental health education by providing easier access and broader reach. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of a web-based application in improving teachers' knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding dental health promotion among elementary school children. This randomized controlled trial (RCT) employed a pretest-posttest control group design involving 120 primary school teachers in Aceh Province, Indonesia, who were randomly assigned to intervention and control groups. The intervention group received education through a web-based application, whereas the control group received conventional education. Teachers' knowledge, attitudes, and practices were assessed using a validated questionnaire at baseline, one month, and two months after the intervention. Data were analyzed using paired and independent t-tests with SPSS version 22.0. The intervention group demonstrated significantly greater improvements in knowledge, attitudes, and practices than the control group (
