Peculiarities of Dental Treatment among Paediatric Oncological Patients: a Case Report.
Article in Journal of oral & maxillofacial research. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectivesAccording to the National Cancer Institute of Lithuania, cancer is diagnosed for almost 100 children each year. Oncological patients suffer from complications during and after treatment. Radiation therapy also affects dental hard tissues. Many oncological patients lose motivation to take care of their oral hygiene because they are focused on cancer diagnosis. This case report discusses prevention and dental treatment severity after radiation therapy treatment. MATERIAL AND
methodsA 9-year-old boy with cancer diagnosis visited a dentist in 2017. The patient was complaining about poor aesthetic quality of the teeth, but there were no complaints about teeth sensitivity or pain. Different stages of active caries, poor oral hygiene, visible abundant plaque, swollen, red and bleeding gums were observed during appointment. A motivational interview explaining the importance of oral hygiene was conducted. Non-surgical caries treatment was prescribed during the first visit. Restorative treatment was performed after 1 month.
resultsThe motivational interview explaining the importance of oral hygiene was conducted during every appointment per 3-year period. Unfortunately, oral hygiene is still poor due to the lack of motivation. Active-cavitated caries lesions were restored with glass ionomer cement and composite resin. The aesthetics of teeth was improved.
conclusionsOncological and recovered patients after radiation therapy should be assigned to a high risk of caries. These patients should be treated individually by the algorithm. Psychological or psychotherapeutic assistance is necessary for patients due to motivation for treatment and oral care.
