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

BACKGROUND/

aimTraumatic dental injuries (TDIs) are a significant public health concern, particularly among children and adolescents. The aim of this study was to analyse the characteristics of TDIs and investigate the factors affecting delays in seeking medical care using data from patients treated at Shenzhen Children’s Hospital from January to December 2023.

methodsWe reviewed the electronic records of 1,683 patients, classifying TDIs into fracture and luxation injuries according to IADT guidelines. Data were analysed via descriptive statistics and multinomial logistic regression to determine demographic and clinical features.

resultsTDIs were more prevalent in children aged 2–4 years and 7–9 years, with males comprising 70.4% of the patients. The most affected teeth were maxillary incisors. Luxation injuries were more common in primary dentition, whereas fracture injuries were more prevalent in permanent dentition. Additionally, sunny weather and temperatures between 20 °C and 30 °C were identified as risk factors associated with a higher incidence of TDIs. Most patients (98.1%) sought care within 24 h, with age and type of injury significantly influencing the time to treatment.

conclusionsNecessary improvements should be considered in the healthcare education system to address dental trauma better. This process is crucial to increase awareness of the importance of timely medical care, both for younger children and their parents.
