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

Objectives: Honey has been used for millennia as a treatment for covering wounds that are difficult to repair. Hippocrates already reported the benefits of honey with this type of treatment. The objective of this work is to evaluate the literature on the use of honey in cases as preventive as treatment complications after extractions, more specifically alveolar osteitis or alveolitis. Material and Methods: A systematic literature review was carried out on PubMed, LILACS and Dimensions platforms, following PRISMA guidelines, to gain more knowledge on the topic. Due to the scarcity of articles on the topic, there are no restrictions regarding languages, publication dates or impact factor journal. Animal studies and reviews were excluded. Risk of bias was assessed through Review Manager Software 5.4. Results: With simple, low-cost, and affordable medications, many of the complications after tooth extractions can be resolved more quickly and less painfully for patients with more significant difficulties, whether financial or access, to other treatments. Conclusion: Honey is an effective prevention and treatment for alveolar osteitis.
