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

introductionWhite coat hypertension in geriatric patients can complicate dental procedures in the presence of intense anxiety.

objectiveTo evaluate the effectiveness of a combined approach of psychological intervention and sedation for the control of the syndrome during multiple extractions. CASE PRESENTATION: A 76-year-old woman with a diagnosis of white coat hypertension (WCH) and a history of dental anxiety. In two previous attempts, the surgery was suspended due to blood pressure elevation. The Dental Perception Reprogramming Protocol (DPRP) was applied along with conscious sedation (midazolam, fentanyl, dexmedetomidine) which allowed agitation, so deep sedation with propofol was used.

resultThe patient had stable blood pressure (119/82 mmHg) and successfully completed the intervention without complications.

conclusionsThe integration of psycho-behavioral and pharmacological techniques allowed effective hemodynamic control, and a key interdisciplinary approach is suggested for the management of the syndrome in older adults.
