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

Chlorhexidine (CHX) is a highly effective antiseptic agent. Allergic reactions on use of CHX are rare, but an increase in the percentage of cases is witnessed due to rapid increase in CHX-containing products in recent times. CHX forms an indispensable part of dentistry. The present case report showcases allergic reaction seen as a result of the use of CHX mouthwash, where in patient develops redness and inflammation on gingiva as well as urticarial rash on the skin of the back. The case report warns us for a cautious use of CHX products.
