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
Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the knowledge and awareness of dental erosion, its etiology and preventive practices among certified Croatian wine assessors. Participants and Methods: An anonymous questionnaire structured in two sections was completed by 90 certified Croatian wine assessors, representing more than 80% of active certified assessors in Croatia. The first section covered demographic and professional data, including age, years of professional experience, frequency of wine tasting and habits related to tasting. The second section evaluated participants' knowledge regarding etiology, prevention and therapy pertaining to dental erosion. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics and standard statistical tests commonly applied in questionnaire-based studies. Results: Although the majority of participants visited the dentist regularly, only two-thirds noted that their dentist knew their occupation. Wine assessors' knowledge of dental erosion was not typically associated with dentists' awareness of their occupation. While merely 23% of participants learned about dental erosion from their dentists, 45% acquired this knowledge from other sources. Although 67% of respondents had heard of dental erosion, their factual knowledge was limited. A total of 69% of participants reported no specific oral care practices before or after wine tasting; observable habits were not related to their professional experience. Conclusion: Awareness of dental erosion among Croatian wine assessors proved insufficient. An appropriate form of education, especially one provided by dentists, is required to emphasize the risks and outline the potential for prevention and treatment of dental erosion.
