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
purposeTraumatic dental injuries are common in children and adolescents, and timely emergency management of avulsed permanent teeth is critical for prognosis. Parents are often first responders, yet evidence regarding parental knowledge in Sweden is limited. This study assessed knowledge of the emergency management of avulsed permanent teeth in a Swedish cohort of parents and explored factors associated with knowledge level.
methodsA cross-sectional questionnaire survey was conducted amongst parents attending a tertiary paediatric dental clinic in Stockholm, Sweden. The questionnaire assessed sociodemographic characteristics, prior exposure to dental-trauma information, and knowledge of emergency management of avulsed permanent teeth. A composite knowledge score was calculated and analysed descriptively and using logistic regression.
resultsA total of 168 parents participated. Overall, 54.2% had insufficient knowledge, whilst 45.8% had sufficient knowledge using the analytical threshold of ≥ 50% correct responses. Only 44.6% knew that replantation of a permanent tooth is possible, 28.5% selected rinsing under running water as the correct cleaning method, and 18.3% selected milk as an appropriate storage medium. Prior exposure to information was associated with sufficient knowledge. In multivariable analysis, university education remained associated with sufficient knowledge.
conclusionThis Swedish cohort of parents showed limited knowledge of emergency management of avulsed permanent teeth, particularly regarding replantation, cleaning, extra-oral time, and storage media. Educational initiatives through dental clinics and digital platforms may improve parental preparedness, but broader population-based studies are needed.
