The Effect of the Treatment of Severe Early Childhood Caries on Growth-Development and Quality of Life.
Article in Children (Basel, Switzerland), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
purposeUntreated early childhood caries (ECC) adversely affect children's quality of life. Our aim was to evaluate the effects of ECC on growth, development, and quality of life. DESIGN AND
methodsA total of 95 children were divided into three groups: general anesthesia (GA) (
resultsUpon the treatment of ECC, the total ECOHIS score significantly decreased (
conclusionsThe results of our study revealed that development and growth deficiencies in the children with ECC could be reversed rapidly by dental treatments and, thus, their quality of life would increase. The importance of treating ECC was revealed since treating ECC had positive effects both on the children's growth and development and on the quality of life of the children and their parents.
