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

Rare genetic syndromes, conditions with a global average prevalence of 40 cases/100,000 people, are associated with anatomical, physiological, and neurological anomalies that may affect different body districts, including the oral district. So far, no classification of oral abnormalities in rare genetic syndromes is present in the literature. The aim of this narrative review is to analyze literature on rare genetic syndromes affecting dento-oro-maxillofacial structures (teeth, maxillary bones, oral soft tissues, or mixed) and to propose a classification according to the detected oral abnormalities. In addition, five significant cases of rare genetic syndromes are presented. The Scale for the Assessment of Narrative Review Articles (SANRA) was followed for this review. From 674 papers obtained through PubMed search, 351 were selected. Sixty-two rare genetic syndromes involving oral manifestations were found and classified. The proposed classification aims to help the clinician to easily understand which dento-oro-maxillofacial findings might be expected in the presence of each rare genetic syndrome. This immediate framework may both help in the diagnosis of dento-oro-maxillofacial anomalies related to the underlying pathology as well as facilitate the drafting of treatment plans with the involvement of a multidisciplinary team.
