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

aimIn this study, we evaluated the impact of an integrated oral care protocol for pediatric patients undergoing antineoplastic treatment from the perspective of the multidisciplinary team, oral healthcare team, and caregivers. SUBJECT AND

methodsThis was a qualitative study carried out in the pediatric sector of a reference cancer hospital in Brazil. Focus group and individual semi-structured interview techniques were used, and the data were analyzed by the Discourse of the Collective Subject (DCS) method.

resultsA total of 44 professionals involved in providing care to children and adolescents with cancer and 38 caregivers were interviewed. All interviewees perceived an improvement in the patients' oral health condition. Health professionals reported a reduction in the occurrence and severity of oral mucositis (OM). Communicating with the medical team and understanding the importance of oral care to the patient's systemic condition were the greatest difficulties reported by the oral healthcare team.

conclusionThis implementation project contributed to establishing a complete multidisciplinary team to assist pediatric patients in all their needs during antineoplastic treatment. The integrated oral care protocol further contributed to reducing the occurrence and severity of OM by increasing its surveillance and diagnostic efficiency, which, altogether, improved the patients' quality of life.
