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
This study aims to characterize dentists in Brazil who understand and practice Sleep Dentistry (SD), focusing on diagnosing and managing sleep-related breathing disorders (SRBD), such as snoring and obstructive sleep apnea. Our goal is to identify gaps in their training and emphasize the need to integrate dental sleep into the Brazilian system of education. We conducted a descriptive study with 161 Brazilian sleep dentists. Participants answered questionnaires with demographics, educational background, clinical experience, and perspectives on recognizing SD as a specialty. Our findings show that 57.8% of participants graduated from public universities. Many expressed a strong interest in receiving training on SD, highlighting difficulties in effectively managing SRBD. Additionally, they reported the importance of healthcare professionals in improving treatment outcomes for SRBD. This study highlights the need to incorporate sleep health education into dental training programs in Brazil. Aligning these educational improvements with the United Nations in promoting health and well-being, we urge policymakers to formally recognize SD as a key specialty, fostering stronger collaboration between dentists and physicians to enhance patient care and public health.
