Using an Analog Multifunctional Model to Develop Cognitive Skills in Dental Implants.
Article in International journal of dentistry, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of the multifunctional analog model (MAM) as a teaching-learning tool for developing cognitive skills in dental implantology among undergraduate students. Materials and Methods: This randomized educational trial included 115 students allocated into three groups: group A (theoretical instruction), group B (theoretical instruction plus laboratory practice), and group C (laboratory practice only). Learning was assessed using a five-item objective questionnaire administered before and after the intervention. Students' perceptions were evaluated through two open-ended questions. Results: The percentage of correct answers increased from 33.3% (SD 17.4) to 55.4% (SD 26.1) in group A, from 28.2% (SD 20.4) to 76.9% (SD 20.8) in group B, and from 23.8% (SD 18.2) to 77.3% (SD 17.7) in group C. Posttest performance was significantly higher in groups B and C compared with group A ( Conclusion: The MAM-based methodology was significantly more effective than theoretical instruction alone in promoting cognitive learning. The integration of theory and practice was the key factor underlying its effectiveness.
