The impact of timing and modalities of dental prophylaxis on the risk of 5-fluorouracil-related oral mucositis in patients with head and neck cancer: a nationwide population-based cohort study.

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
purposeThis study investigated the impact of dental prophylaxis on 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)-related oral mucositis (OM) according to the head and neck cancer (HNC) locations and treatment times.
methodsA total of 13,969 HNC participants, including 482 5-FU-related OM subjects and 13,487 comparisons were enrolled from the Longitudinal Health Insurance Database for Catastrophic Illness Patients of Taiwan between 2000 and 2008. All subjects were stratified into subgroups based on the times to perform chlorhexidine use, scaling, and fluoride application before 5-FU administration. The dental prophylaxis related to 5-FU-related OM was estimated by multiple logistic regression and represented with odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI).
resultsFluoride gel application and scaling significantly impacted on OM development (p < 0.001), and the joint effect of fluoride gel and scaling induced 5-FU-related OM (OR = 3.46, 95% CI = 2.39-5.01). The risk of OM was raised 2.25-fold as scaling within 3 weeks before 5-FU-related chemotherapy (95% CI = 1.81-2.81), and a 3.22-fold increased risk of OM while fluoride gel was applied during 5-FU-related treatment (95% CI = 1.46-7.13).
conclusionDental prophylaxis significantly affected 5-FU-related OM in the HNC population. A short interval between dental scaling or fluoride application and 5-FU administration may be associated with higher prevalence of OM. Scaling simultaneously combined with chlorohexidine promoted 5-FU-related OM in specific HNC patients excluding the oral cancer and nasopharyngeal cancer population. Proper timing of the prophylactic dental treatments prior to 5-FU therapy could reduce the risk to develop 5-FU-related OM.
