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 whether periodontal infection is a risk factor for lower respiratory infection patients receiving oral and maxillofacial tumor surgery.
methodsPatients undergoing oral and maxillofacial surgery for tumors with concurrent periodontal disease between January, 2012 and December, 2016 were randomized into periodontal intervention group and control group (treated with gargle solution containing chlorhexidine gluconate). The one-time periodontal intervention was completed within 24 h in the intervention group and two-week mouthwash was prescribed in the control group before oral and maxillofacial tumor surgery. Five periodontal indexes were examined at baseline and at 6 weeks after the treatment. The clinical symptoms and incidence of lower respiratory infections were compared between the two groups at 6 weeks.
resultsThe PLI, BOP, PPD, and CAL were significantly lower and GR was higher in the intervention group than in the control group (P<0.01). The periodontal status was significantly improved in the intervention group. The incidence of lower respiratory infection was significantly lower in the intervention group than in the control group (2.22% vs 7.11%, P<0.01). The incidences of cough and expectoration in the intervention group were significantly lower than those in control group (P<0.01).
conclusionsPeriodontal infection is one of the risk factors for lower respiratory infection after oral and maxillofacial tumor surgery. The periodontal status can be effectively controlled and improved by periodontal intervention. Compared with mouthwash, periodontal intervention can significantly reduce the incidences of cough and expectoration and lower the incidence of lower respiratory infections.
