Radiation-Induced Caries: Exploring the Pathway to Manage the Challenge.
Review in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Radiation-induced caries represent a frequent and serious complication of head and neck radiotherapy, significantly affecting patients' quality of life. Their development results from several factors, including the direct effects of radiotherapy on dental tissues, as well as indirect effects related to xerostomia and changes in saliva. Diagnosis is based on clinical and radiographic assessment, which often reveals a specific pattern of demineralization. The management of these caries requires a comprehensive approach, combining prevention, treatment of lesions, and regular follow-up. It is essential to establish long-term fluoride prophylaxis, and advice on oral hygiene and nutrition, in order to prevent new lesions. The choice of dental restorations must be considered according to the state of salivation and the caries risk, favoring materials adapted to the specificities of radiotherapy.
