1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

background and purposeSufficient evidence exists recommending the use of honey in the management of wounds. Studies revealed that the healing effect of honey could be classified by its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties of its components. Since surgical extraction of impacted molars is one of the most common operations in the oral cavity and the postoperative pain disturbing the patient may reduce the quality of health service, this study aimed to assess the analgesic potential of Manuka honey application into the extraction socket of impacted mandibular third molars.

methodsThis randomized split-mouth controlled study included 33 patients undergoing impacted bilateral lower third molars surgery under local anesthesia (

resultsIn treatment group, postoperative VAS scores were significantly lower compared to that in control group regarding first and second days postoperatively (

conclusionThis study demonstrated that intrasocket application of Manuka honey after surgical extraction of impacted lower third molar is an effective method for reducing acute postsurgical pain.
