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.

It has many benefits, most importantly, the support of the anesthesia team to control the medical status and treat the patient safely.

Moreover, to compare the dental procedures between different medical conditions. This retrospective study involves a sample of 730 children aged between (1-16 years) with complex medical conditions treated under DGA between January 2009 until April 2022. The results show that 4.93 % of these patients had DGA twice. For those children who had DGA only once, the most frequent medical conditions were neuro-developmental disorders (31.8 %), pediatric oncology (17.4 %), and behavioral disorders (autism
