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

The prevalence of oral manifestations among COVID-19 patients is of interest. This is a cross-sectional, questionnaire-based study conducted among 23 recovered COVID-19 patients aged over 18 years. The results showed the prevalence of oral manifestations up to 45%, with ageusia as the major outcome in 60% of the positive cases. These manifestations were predominantly observed in moderate to severe cases of COVID-19 among male patients above 50 years of age. More studies with sufficient sample sizes and broader regional representation are recommended to validate these observations.
