Missed preoperative nursing care in dentistry.
Article in Frontiers in oral health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Missed preoperative nursing care in dentistry is a critical but overlooked public health issue in many low-resource settings worldwide, including regions across Africa, Southeast Asia, and Latin America. In numerous low and middle-income countries, dental emergencies are managed almost exclusively by dentists, with minimal structured nursing support. This gap in care contributes to delayed interventions, preventable morbidity and mortality, and rising healthcare costs. A systemic approach is urgently needed to integrate nursing into dental emergency management. This includes expanding nursing education to cover oral health, developing standardized nursing protocols for dental infections and fostering multidisciplinary collaboration between the nursing and dental professionals. While successful models from high-income countries offer promising frameworks, their adaptation requires careful consideration of local health system capacities and cultural contexts. Although empirical data on the economic and clinical impact of missed dental nursing care remain limited, addressing this gap is a pressing public health priority. Doing so offers a cost-effective opportunity to strengthen healthcare infrastructure and improve outcomes for vulnerable populations in underserved regions.
