Linking systemic diseases with oral health: Awareness among general physician.
Article in Bioinformation, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
The relationship between oral health and systemic disease exists. However, its understanding among physician is inadequate and less comprehensive in nature. Hence, a survey of 135 general physicians showed that 53.3% possessed moderate awareness and 24.4% had high awareness while 22.2% had low awareness. Knowledge levels of physicians who had more than ten years of experience proved to be significantly better than others (p < 0.05). The practice of asking about oral health occurred regularly for less than 40% of providers while dental referrals reached only 28% of necessary patients. Interdisciplinary education at an elevated level should become mandatory to develop better integrated treatment approaches.
