Impact of Perioperative Oral Care on the Length of Hospital Stay in Cardiovascular Surgery Patients.
Article in Oral health & preventive dentistry, 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
purposeThis study compared pre- and postoperative interventions on perioperative oral function management during cardiovascular surgery to clarify their effects on patient outcomes. MATERIALS AND
methods243 consecutive patients who underwent cardiovascular surgery at a single-center facility between January 2018 and December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Fever of 38°C or higher was analyzed by univariate and multivariate binary logistic regression analyses, and the length of hospital stay was analyzed using the log-rank test and Cox proportional hazards model.
resultsPatients who received preoperative oral function management were more likely to have a fever than those who received postoperative management. The log-rank test showed a shorter length of hospital stay by 5 days for the preoperative oral function management group; however, the length of hospital stay was not statistically significantly different between the group that underwent postoperative oral function management and the group that did not.
conclusionPreoperative oral management is important to reduce the length of hospital stay after cardiovascular surgery.
