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
Background Prolonged hospitalization in patients with hematologic and collagen diseases presents significant challenges for patient recovery and healthcare resource utilization. Perioperative oral management (POM) has been suggested to reduce systemic complications; however, its impact on length of hospital stay remains unclear. Methods This retrospective case-control study analyzed 278 patients admitted to the Department of Hematology and Rheumatology at Kagoshima University Hospital between November 2009 and January 2025. Patients who received POM during hospitalization were compared with those who did not. Prolonged hospitalization was defined as a length of stay in the top 25% of the overall distribution. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were conducted to evaluate the association between POM and prolonged hospitalization, adjusting for age, sex, BMI, smoking status, diabetes mellitus, transplantation type, and disease categories. To minimize selection bias and confounding, inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) based on propensity scores was applied. Results Of the 278 patients, 184 received POM. The absence of POM was significantly associated with prolonged hospitalization in both unadjusted and multivariable-adjusted analyses (odds ratio [OR]: 3.70,
