One-year follow-up of Atraumatic Restorative Treatment(ART) for dental caries in children undergoing oncohematological treatment: a pragmatic trial.
Trial report in BMC oral health, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
backgroundThe oral condition in children undergoing oncohematological treatment can have a negative impact on the course of disease. Little is known about survival of tooth restorations in these patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the longevity of restorations and sealants performed by Atraumatic Restoration Treatment (ART) in patients undergoing oncohematological treatment.
methodsART single surface restorations and sealants were performed in the experimental group (E), which comprised children (2-13 years old) undergoing oncohematological treatment, and in the control group (C), in which patients did not undergo such treatment. The same examiner evaluated the ART at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months after preparation, using the same criteria for restorations and sealants. ART was successful if the sealant or restoration did not need a repair in the follow-up assessment. Descriptive, bivariate and Cox's proportional hazard analyses were performed at a significance level of 5 %.
resultsThe two groups, one including 24 children (E) and the other 14 children (C), received 101 and 52 ART procedures, respectively. The success rates were 95.0 % (E) and 100 % (C) at 1 month (P = 0.233); 81.2 % (E) and 92.3 % (C) at 3 months (P = 0.009); 72.2 % (E) and 80.8 % (C) at 6 months (P = 0.050) and 48.5 % (E) and 73.1 % (C) at 12 months (P = 0.001). The final Cox's regression model for occurrence of ART failure needing repair did not show differences between groups (E: OR = 1.6, 95 % CI 0.8-2.9); primary teeth had a shorter survival than permanent teeth (OR = 2.1, 95 % CI 1.2-3.7).
conclusionsOncohematological treatment did not interfere with the longevity of ART restorations and sealants, which suggests the potential use of this technique in children undergoing chemotherapy.
