Bridging theory and practice: the effect of emergency medicine training on dental students' knowledge and clinical performance.
Trial report in BMC medical education, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundMedical emergencies during dental procedures are not uncommon. Given the high-risk nature of dentistry and the necessity for immediate patient management, this study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a targeted educational intervention by expanding assessment parameters for knowledge and performance, including follow-up evaluations.
methodsThis educational interventional study was conducted in 2023 with 60 senior dental students recruited via an open call. Participants were randomly assigned to intervention and control groups using a random number table. All participants underwent a theoretical and practical assessment based on the American Heart Association (AHA) standardized examination. The intervention group participated in a hands-on emergency medicine and resuscitation workshop, followed by theoretical and practical assessments at one- and three-months post-intervention. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 26. Independent t-tests and ANCOVA were used for between-group comparisons, while repeated measures ANOVA and LSD post hoc tests were applied for within-group analyses. A significance level of 0.05 was adopted.
resultsThe mean scores from the workshop questionnaire at baseline, immediately post-intervention, and at one- and three-month follow-ups showed a statistically significant improvement over time in the intervention group (p < 0.001), while no significant change was observed in the control group (p = 0.808). Similarly, practical exam scores demonstrated a significant time-dependent improvement in the intervention group (p < 0.001), with no meaningful change in the control group (p = 0.999).
conclusionThe emergency medicine workshop-covering both basic and advanced resuscitation-significantly enhanced the theoretical knowledge and practical skills of senior dental students. Moreover, the sustained impact observed over time underscores the long-term value of such educational interventions.
