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

The pain and fear caused by direct local injection of anesthetic or the poor experience with surface anesthetic cream increase the difficulty of clinical treatment for oral diseases. To address this problem, a hyaluronic acid microneedle patch (Li-HAMNs) that consists of fast-dissolving lidocaine hydrochloride (LDC)-loaded tips and a wet-adhesive backing layer made of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/carboxymethylcellulose sodium (CMC-Na) was fabricated to explore its potential use in dental topical anesthesia. Li-HAMNs could puncture the stratum corneum with an insertion depth of about 279 μm in the isolated porcine oral mucosal. The fast-dissolving tips could release LDC to improve the patients' convenience and compliance. Importantly, the backing layer, which has good adhesion ability and water-absorbing properties, could surmount the contraction and extension of oral masticatory muscles and the saliva scour. In the tail flick test, the topical anesthesia efficacy of the Li-HAMNs group was much better than clinical lidocaine cream (EMLA cream, LDC, 1.2 mg) in spite of a relatively lower LDC dose with Li-HAMNs (LDC, 0.5 mg). It is believed that the proposed adhesive microneedle patch could enhance transmucosal delivery of anesthetics and thus open a new chapter in the painless treatment of oral diseases.
