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

Dental injury is a common anesthesia-related adverse event, with a high incidence of damage to teeth and surrounding tissues during oro-endotracheal intubation. Poor oral hygiene, compromised periodontium, faulty or loose prosthesis, proclined maxillary incisors along with increased difficulty level of airway management, improper use of laryngoscope, and use of maxillary anterior teeth as a fulcrum for achieving accessibility to the airway are all risk factors for iatrogenic dental injury. This type of injury provides additional physical and psychological trauma to patients who have already undergone medical surgical procedures. The consequences of such mishaps might potentially result in medico-legal suits and financial claims. The present case series described three cases of managing iatrogenic dental lesions during oro-endotracheal intubation, after obtaining written informed consent, as well as methods for preventing such accidental injuries. This study emphasized the importance of collaboration between medical and dental professionals in preventing and successfully managing accidental dental injuries.
