Risk of Infective Endocarditis Following Invasive Dental Procedures: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Synthesis in Public health reviews, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Objectives: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to synthesize evidence and determine the association between IE and dental procedures, including invasive and non-invasive procedures. Methods: We conducted a systematic search of PubMed, Google Scholar, and Cochrane databases for studies involving procedures such as tooth extraction, scaling, endodontic treatment, oral surgery, and periodontal treatment involving individuals aged ≥15 years. The primary outcome was the incidence of IE following these procedures. Results: An association was found between IE and invasive dental procedures (OR 1.49, 95% CI 1.25-1.76; p < 0.00001). Subgroup analysis showed an increased risk of IE following tooth extraction (OR 2.73, 95% CI 1.46-5.11; p = 0.002) and oral surgery (OR 6.33, 95% CI 2.43-16.49; p = 0.0002) in high-risk patients. Conclusion: Our study found a strong association between invasive dental procedures and increased IE risk, particularly for tooth extraction and oral surgery in high-risk individuals.
