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

objectiveIntolerance of uncertainty (IU) is thought to be involved with the psychological factors that influence the symptoms in patients with burning mouth syndrome (BMS) and affect their limited satisfaction with the treatments provided. However, the influence of IU on satisfaction has not been explored in detail. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate whether IU can affect the satisfaction of patients with BMS.

methodsA total of 34 patients with BMS and 100 patients without the disease who visited the general dental clinic were included in the study. They were required to complete a questionnaire measuring the subjective severity of their symptoms and satisfaction with their oral state, and a short IU scale. The BMS patients were separated from the control patients based on the IU score. The coefficients between the severity of symptoms and satisfaction were calculated to examine the influence of IU on the relationship between the two variables.

resultsThe relationship between satisfaction and severity of symptoms was significant in BMS patients with high IU, but not in control patients with low IU.

conclusionThis study demonstrated that IU in BMS patients influences the relationship between the severity of symptoms and the satisfaction, thus indicating that the dissatisfaction in BMS patients with high IU might be prevented by decreasing the IU. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Limited satisfaction experienced by BMS patients can influence the patient-doctor relationship. This study provides suggestions for building a good patient-doctor relationship.
