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

Leukemia is the cancer of blood cells and bone marrow and it is the most common cancer in children. The cause of acute lymphocytic leukemia is unknown, but many predisposing risk factors could be associated, such as an exposure to radiation, chemical or viral infections. A six-year-old boy was presented with multiple carious teeth and severe pain related to his lower left teeth. Regarding medical history, the child was diagnosed with acute lymphocytic leukemia and after consultation with patient's physician; dental treatment was planned to be accomplished under general anesthesia. The aim of treatment was to eliminate sources of infections, restore carious teeth, relief pain, and improve oral hygiene and patient's parents' education regarding general and oral health. Full-mouth rehabilitation was accomplished after preparing the patient with pediatric hematology/oncology team under general anesthesia. During recall visits, good oral hygiene and caries-free teeth were obtained. It is important to have solid knowledge regarding the medical conditions, the necessary consultations with medical subspecialties and the appropriate timings for treatment.
