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

Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, renowned for detecting esophageal, gastric, and duodenal lesions, now extends to spotting oral and pharyngeal abnormalities such as cancer. This study examined whether peroral endoscopy can be used to identify dental issues. Between July and September 2022, 72 patients had their teeth, predominantly molars, captured during peroral endoscopy. Dental abnormalities were found in 28 (39%) (95%CI, 27.7%-50.3%) cases, including pigmentation, residual plaque, root exposure, black spots suspected of caries, defects, and residual roots. Although limited, this study suggests that peroral endoscopy has the potential to detect dental problems, aid in timely treatment, and reduce risks associated with dental diseases.
