Article in SAGE open nursing. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It has been retracted, and should not be counted. 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
Introduction: The delay in children going to the dentist is a significant factor contributing to the deterioration of their dental problems. Additionally, the soothing scent of vanilla, reminiscent of ice cream, and the pleasant aroma of orange can enhance relaxation during dental procedures. Objective: The present study aimed to determine and compare the effects of aromatherapy with orange and vanilla essential oils on pain and dental anxiety in children undergoing dental procedures. Methods: The present study was a randomized controlled trial with three parallel groups, two interventions, and a control group. One hundred and twenty-six children undergoing dental procedures were invited to study. Each group received either vanilla, orange, or placebo essence during their dental procedures. Pain, anxiety levels were assessed. Results: Both vanilla and orange aromatherapy effectively reduced dental pain and dental anxiety in children undergoing dental procedures. Vanilla aromatherapy reduced dental pain ( Conclusion: Vanilla and orange aromatherapy effectively reduced dental pain and anxiety in children undergoing dental procedures. Therefore, further studies are recommended to investigate the effects of these aromatherapy interventions on children with other oral or dental conditions, aiming to provide more effective supportive care. Caregivers, especially dental clinic nurses, can consider recommending vanilla and orange aromatherapy as supportive measures to help reduce pain and distress during dental treatments.
