Syncope in dentistry: risk factors, preventive strategies, and management.
Review in Journal of dental anesthesia and pain medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Vasovagal syncope is the most common medical emergency in dental practice and is characterized by a transient loss of consciousness during treatment. It may present as an isolated incident triggered by a specific stimulus or as a manifestation of an underlying systemic condition. Understanding the pathophysiology, clinical presentation, and progression of syncope is essential for accurate diagnosis and effective management. Early recognition of the three phases of presyncope, syncope, and recovery enables timely intervention and reduces the risk of complications. This review summarizes the current evidence on risk factors, preventive measures, and behavioral and pharmacological management strategies specific to dental settings. It also examines the dental procedures frequently associated with syncope and outlines the diagnostic workup to exclude alternative diagnoses. By integrating clinical insights with practical recommendations, this review supports dental professionals in the safe and effective management of vasovagal syncope in routine care.
