Opportunistic Microorganisms in Oral Cavity According to Treatment Status in Head and Neck Cancer Patients.
Article in Journal of clinical and diagnostic research : JCDR, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
introductionCancer patients receiving chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy are prone to many predisposing factors like immunosuppression, imbalance in the oral flora, hypo-salivation and local tissue damage. Therefore, considered to be at higher risk for oral bacterial and fungal infection than the general population.
aimTo study oropharyngeal flora in head and neck cancer patients under treatment and to correlate their incidence according with Chemotherapy cycles and Radiochemotherapy. MATERIALS AND
methodsTotal 110 patients were selected for study, those were further divided into two groups, group I under Chemotherapy (CT) - 55 patients and group II under Radiochemotherapy (RCT) - 55 patients and 50 healthy individuals were taken as control. Saliva sample was collected from control and study group and inoculated on Blood agar, MacConkey agar and Sabouraud's Dextrose Agar (SDA). The identification of bacterial and fungal isolates was done by standard microbiological methods and result was calculated according to cycles of Chemotherapy and Radiochemotherapy combined. Significant differences between patients were tested using the Chi-square test or Fisher's exact test. A p-value less than 0.05 was considered as statistically significant.
resultThere were 149 culture isolates from 110 patient in which Gram Negative Bacilli (GNB) found in 63.6%,
