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/purpose: The dental education for the medical students is very important and a necessary part for the comprehensive medical education. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the new initiative of oral medicine course by evaluating medical students' perspectives via a presurvey and postsurvey evaluation. Materials and methods: Forty-five fourth-year medical students of MacKay Medical College enrolled in the course of "oral and maxillofacial medicine" were invited to fill in an anonymous online presurvey regarding their cognition for basic knowledge of the oral medicine and the estimated learning time for the class. An anonymous online postsurvey using the presurvey questions with added questions on medical students' attitude toward the independent learning for the oral medicine course. Results: Of the 45 medical students, 27 (60 %) and 45 (100 %) participated in the online presurvey and postsurvey, respectively. The results showed that all respondents found the oral medicine course to be helpful in raising their basic knowledge of the oral medicine. For all questions, the mean scores significantly increased 2.58-2.73 after the oral medicine class (all Conclusion: In this study, the oral medicine course contributed to an increase in students' basic knowledge of the oral medicine and their awareness and understanding of the importance of the independent learning for the oral medicine. Considering the reported effectiveness of the oral medicine course on medical students' basic knowledge and attitude of the oral medicine, this model shows promise for further use in other medical institutions.
