Comparison of Tell-Show-Do, Tell-Play-Do and app-based modelling techniques in pediatric dental behaviour management.
Article in Bioinformation, 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
Managing dental anxiety in children remains a major challenge in pediatric dentistry, as anxious children often demonstrate poor cooperation during dental procedures. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of Tell-Show-Do (TSD), Tell-Play-Do (TPD), and smartphone app-assisted modelling techniques in reducing anxiety among pediatric patients. Anxiety was assessed pre- and post-intervention using the RMS Pictorial Scale. All groups showed significant reduction in anxiety scores, with the smartphone app-assisted modelling group demonstrating the greatest improvement. Thus, we show that interactive and technology-assisted behaviour management approaches may offer superior anxiety reduction compared to conventional techniques.
