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

Background/purpose: Intravenous sedation with propofol in the dental treatment offers an alternative to inhalation sedation or general anesthesia. The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and identify risk factors for intraoperative complications. Materials and methods: Uncooperative children who could not complete dental treatment under non-pharmacological behavior management or mild-to-moderate sedation in the outpatient pediatric department were selected. Details and time of dental treatment; intraoperative vital signs data, including blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, pulse oxygen saturation (SpO Results: Overall, 344 children were selected, with 342 completing dental treatment. The dental treatment time was 20-155 (median, 85; interquartile range, 70-100) min. The number of treated teeth was at least 1 and at most 13 (median, 6; interquartile range, 5-8). Among 342 children, 35 (10.2%) had their treatment interrupted temporarily due to choking cough. No serious complications occurred; the incidence rate of minor complications was 47/342 (13.7%). Tachycardia was observed in 5/342 (1.5%) cases, oxygen desaturation (SpO Conclusion: Decreased oxygen saturation is the most common complications. Cough during treatment and longer treatment duration were risk factors for complications.
