Analysis of emergency dental revisits in Taiwan (1999-2012) from Taiwanese National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD).
Article in Journal of dental sciences, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
background/purposeInadequate diagnosis, treatment, and palliative care provided in the emergency department could let the patients revisit shortly after being seen. The aim of this study was to evaluate the emergency dental revisits by using Taiwanese National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD). MATERIALS AND
methodsThe Dental dataset from NHIRD was used to analyze the demographic characteristics of emergency dental revisits in Taiwanese population from 1999 to 2012. In addition, the conditions of emergency dental revisits were also identified based on the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision (ICD-9).
resultsTotal 169,437 individuals had sought for emergency dental treatment from 1999 to 2012. In addition, 9624 individuals (5.68%) had repeated emergency dental visits within 1 year. The top 3 dental conditions were diseases of pulp and periapical tissues (ICD-9: 522), gingival and periodontal diseases (ICD-9: 523), and diseases of the oral soft tissues, excluding lesions specific for gingiva and tongue (ICD-9: 528). Males paid emergency dental revisits more than twice a year outnumber female counterparts (aOR = 1.252, 95% CI: 1.116-1.404). The higher odds ratio for emergency dental revisits over twice a year were found in 0-6 years, 35-49 years, 50-69 years, and ≧ 70 years subgroup as compared the reference of 20-34 years group. However, there were no significant differences for the stratification by year, day, region, and payroll bracket.
conclusionTaken together, this data demonstrated the current situation of emergency dental revisits in Taiwan. It would raise the important issue about how to reduce the unnecessary repeated emergency visits.
