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
introductionBeneficial effect of local administration of lysozyme in patients with recurrent aphthous stomatitis was demonstrated, but there are no published studies focused on treatment of chemotherapy or radiotherapy induced oral mucositis with lysozyme.
aimThe aim of this study was to compare efficacy and safety of Lysobact Complete spray (lysozyme, cetylpyridinium, and lidocaine) and compounded medication for local use in the treatment of radio- and chemo-therapy induced oral mucositis. PATIENTS AND
methodsThis observational, phase IV study was designed as prospective cohort investigation, and conducted at two sites, Clinical Hospital Zenica and University Clinical Center Tuzla, Bosnia & Herzegovina, from August to November, 2018. The patients with oral mucositis after radio- or chemo-therapy were treated by either registered lysozyme-based or compounded medication (standardized and bicarbonate-based) for 21 days.
resultsBoth lysozyme-based (Lysobact Complete Spray) spray (lysozyme, cetylpyridinium and lidocaine) and compounded medication for local use were effective in local treatment of chemotherapy and radiotherapy-induced oral mucositis. However, lysozyme-based preparation was more effective, since signs of inflammation, number of oral ulcers and intensity of pain during eating and speaking withdrew to a greater extent than with highly variable compounded medication for local use. No adverse events were recorded in both treatment arms.
conclusionsLocally administered spray with fixed combination of lysozyme, cetylpyridinium and lidocaine (Lysobact Complete Spray) is very efficient and completely safe treatment of both radiotherapy and chemotherapy-induced oral mucositis.
