Effectiveness of Topical Application of Honey on Oral Mucosa of Children for the Management of Oral Mucositis Associated with Chemotherapy.
Article in Indian journal of pediatrics, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
objectiveTo evaluate the effectiveness of topical application of honey on Oral Mucositis (OM) associated with chemotherapy.
methodsAn observational blind study is performed upon a sample of 100 children receiving chemotherapy who developed oral mucositis. All children are divided into two groups (control and experimental) who received different regimens. Both groups received routine practice of analgesic and antiseptic gel application whereas children in experimental group also received the topical application of honey on oral mucosa for the management of OM. All children are monitored from the day they developed oral mucositis until the subsidence of signs and symptoms of oral mucositis. The severity of OM was assessed with WHO-STC (Stomatitis Toxicity Criteria) scale by a observer blind.
resultsThere was statistically significant difference in reduction of severity of OM in both groups of children (p < 0.01). The duration of management of OM was significantly small in the experimental group (median 4 d, IQR: 4-6 d) as compared to the control group (median 6 d, IQR: 6-8 d) (p < 0.01).
conclusionsThe topical application of honey on oral mucosa was effective in reducing the severity and duration of management of chemotherapy induced oral mucositis (CIOM; p < 0.05) and that means honey is a good quality product with rich nutritious value and would be a pleasant, simple and cost-effective modality for the management of oral mucositis associated with chemotherapy.
