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

Infective endocarditis (IF) is found in high-risk groups with congenital or acquired cardiac defects. It is caused by episodes of short bacteraemia. The magnitude and duration of bacteraemia caused by dental procedures are decreased by using antibiotic prophylaxis (AP). The aim of this study is to describe and discuss all clinical implications related to IF and dental procedures, and AP before invasive dental procedures. Maintenance of optimal oral health and hygiene is more important than AP in decreasing the risk of IF. Routine daily activities are associated with a similar risk of bacteraemia. It is estimated that antibiotics use in dentistry may represent up to 10% of total antibiotics use, and the risk of developing bacterial resistance should be taken into account.
