Factors affecting efficacy of oral trimeprazine sedation for dental procedures in children: A retrospective study.
Article in The Saudi dental journal, 2011. 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
objectiveTo investigate the influence of factors such as age, gender and pre-operative behavior rating on the outcome of sedation using oral trimeprazine during dental treatment of children.
methodRecords of children who received dental treatment under sedation with oral trimeprazine between 2000 and 2007 were reviewed and the following data were obtained: age and weight of patient at the time of treatment, gender, behavior classification prior to sedation, dose of medication used, efficacy of sedation and treatment accomplished. Descriptive statistics, cross-tabulations and χ (2) analysis were done.
resultForty-eight sedation sessions met the inclusive criteria for children whose mean age was 4.92 (SD 1.65, range 3.0-8.0) years and mean weight was 18.23 (SD 4.82, range: 12.0-31.0) kg. Overall, 54.2% (26/48) of the sedations were rated successful, 20.8% (10/48) were partially successful and 25.0% (12/48) not successful. Younger children 3-5 years, and those with only negative pre-operative behavior rating had more successful sedation sessions than older, 6-8 years or children with definitely negative pre-operative behavior rating (X (2) = 8.165, p = .017) and (X (2) = 17.258, p = .001), respectively.
conclusionVariables such as patient's age and pre-operative behavior but not gender and type of treatment could predict outcome of dental sedation using trimeprazine in children.
