Success rate of the treatment of early childhood caries under general anesthesia: A retrospective cohort study in different periods.
Article in Frontiers in pediatrics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
Instruction: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the three-year success rate of the treatment for early childhood caries (ECC) under general anesthesia in different periods (2011 and 2018). Methods: Children (<6 years old) who had severe caries and were treated under general anesthesia in 2011 and 2018 were selected and followed up by telephone appointment and clinical examination. Success rate of each treatment was determined and possible factors associated with treatment failure were evaluated. Results: There were 153 patients (with an average age of 48.55 ± 13.37 months) and a total of 2,018 teeth included in the 2011 group. In the 2018 group, there were 273 patients with an average age of 49.01 ± 12.42 months and a total of 3,796 teeth. The success rate in the 2011 group was significantly lower than that in the 2018 group. Teeth with mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA)-capped pulp survived significantly longer than those with calcium hydroxide-capped pulp. The utilization rate of preformed crown restoration was higher than that of resin restoration, and the survival time of dental restorations with preformed crown was prolonged. For posterior teeth, the success rate of indirect pulp capping and pulpotomy was also significantly higher than those without preformed crowns. Discussion: General anesthesia is a safe and effective behavioral management method for uncooperative children's dental treatment. The use of biocompatible pulp capping materials and preformed crowns improved the success rate of treatment and prolonged the survival time of affected teeth.
