Impact of COVID-19 on Oral Emergency Services.
Article in International dental journal, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveTo retrospectively review the impact of the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) on services in the oral emergency room. MATERIALS AND
methodsA statistical analysis of epidemiological characteristics and the patients' diagnoses and treatments in the Emergency Department of Peking University Hospital of Stomatology during the outbreak of COVID-19 in 2020 compared with those in 2019 in Beijing, China.
resultsThere were fewer total visits in 2020 than in 2019 (P = 0.001), and the proportions of patients who were children, adolescents and elderly people were lower in 2020 than in 2019 (P < 0.001). The proportions of patients with acute toothache and infections were higher in 2020 than in 2019, and the proportions of patients with maxillofacial trauma and non-emergencies were lower in 2020 than in 2019 (P < 0.001). Drug treatment for acute pulpitis was used more often in 2020 than in 2019, and endodontic treatment and examination consultations were less common in 2020 than in 2019 (P = 0.022).
conclusionsThe outbreak of COVID-19 affected the patient population and structure of disease types and oral services in the emergency room. The number of visits to the oral emergency room and the proportions of the patients who were children, adolescents and elderly people were reduced, meanwhile the percentage of emergency cases, except trauma, and conservative treatments increased during the outbreak of COVID-19.
