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

Early childhood caries (ECC) is the most prevalent chronic oral disease and one of the worldwide public health problems of great urgency for children. ECC can affect children's teeth, dentition, craniomaxillofacial, and general health and development. Therefore, through dental caries etiologies and caries risk assessment, patient-centered, personalized planning and a combination of prevention and treatment should be implemented in the clinical management for ECC. Periodic and continuous cycle management can only be accomplished with the cooperation of medical staff, children, and their guardians. This expert consensus will expound the clinical management of ECC in the following aspects: caries risk assessment, early clinical prevention, treatment strategies, and postoperative management.
