Pre- and postoperative management techniques. Before and after. Part 2: the removal of third molars.
Review in British dental journal, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 3 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
This article aims to highlight the strengths and weaknesses within the selected evidence to aid readers in clinical decision-making when managing patients before and after third molar surgery. Preoperative methods to prevent nerve damage, including the use of computed tomography (CT), are discussed. Preoperative considerations are also summarised, including risk factors such as increasing the occurrence of nerve deficit, weakness and damage, and the role of cone beam CT and when this should be used. The postoperative complications pain, swelling and infection are considered and the available evidence for the use of different protocols, regimes and combinations of therapies summarised.
