Dental treatment of patients with prune belly syndrome.
Review in Special care in dentistry : official publication of the American Association of Hospital Dentists, the Academy of Dentistry for the Handicapped, and the American Society for Geriatric Dentistry, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundPrune belly syndrome (PBS), also known as Eagle-Barrett syndrome (EGBRS), is a rare congenital disease characterized by deficiency or absence of abdominal wall muscles, urological abnormalities, and bilateral cryptorchidism. TYPES OF STUDIES REVIEWED: A review of literature was done using four search engines (PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus, Science Direct) and keywords (individually and in combinations): prune belly syndrome, PBS, Eagle-Barrett syndrome, dental manifestation, clinical manifestation, and psychological aspects. The search was run with no language restrictions and covered the 1965-2021 time period.
resultsThe search yielded a large number of articles. The vast majority were dealing with a variety of treatments. PBS is a multisystem disease with a variable spectrum ranging from mild cases to infant mortality. Comorbidities of PBS (63% gastrointestinal, 65% orthopedic, and 49% cardiopulmonary) present challenges for treatment. PBS affects quality of life of patients and caregivers. We selected and summarized published information that is relevant to oral health and dental care. CONCLUSIONS AND PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS: Providing information to dental practitioners will improve their understanding of PBS. It will help them to better treat patients with PBS and it will encourage more dental providers to welcome patients with PBS into their dental clinics.
