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
We are grateful to the authors of the study by Castagnola et al., which sought to ascertain the prevalence of tooth necrosis in patients undergoing mandibulotomy or mandibulectomy for head and neck cancer. In order to prevent surgical problems, the researchers suggested doing root canal therapy on the teeth next to the surgical site prior to surgery. Although the results offer insightful information about tooth necrosis in patients with head and neck cancer who have had mandibulotomies or mandibulectomy, we would like to voice our concerns about the reported data in order to give a stronger basis for future studies in this field.
