Risk of postoperative bleeding following dental extractions in patients on antithrombotic treatment.
Article in The Saudi dental journal, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
introductionThe risk of bleeding after dental extractions in patients taking antithrombotic medication is not well known. This study aims to investigate the incidence of postoperative bleeding following dental extractions in adult patients taking antithrombotic medication in Saudi Arabia.
methodsThis retrospective study included 539 patients aged 18-93 years who attended 840 appointments for dental extractions from January 2012 to June 2016 at a tertiary care hospital in Saudi Arabia. Patients who returned with a complaint of bleeding were treated with local hemostatic measures as outpatients.Results and Conclusion: Only 1.7% of extraction appointments were associated with postoperative bleeding. The highest risk of bleeding was noted in patients receiving warfarin (3.88%), whereas those on clopidogrel had no significant risk of bleeding. Women were found to have the highest rate of bleeding, particularly those on newer oral anticoagulant medications.Dental extractions can be safely done in adults receiving antithrombotic treatment, provided established guidelines are followed; therefore, dental professionals must exercise caution when planning invasive dental treatment for patients on continued antithrombotic therapy.
