Dental caries in childhood cancer survivors.

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
purposeTo investigate and compare the prevalence and experience of dental caries in childhood cancer survivors (CCS) with that in healthy controls.
methodsA total of 113 CCS (0-18 years) who completed cancer treatment between 2017 and 2021 at Haukeland University Hospital were invited. Two healthy controls per CCS were randomly selected from the Norwegian National Population Register and matched by age and sex. Decayed, missing, and filled teeth (DMFT/dmft) and surfaces (DMFS/dmfs) were used as indices of dental caries experience. The difference in the number of affected teeth/surfaces per patient between CCS and controls was assessed via Poisson regression, with a significance level of 0.05.
resultsA total of 97 CCS (85.8%) provided consent and completed the clinical examinations. The mean age among CCS was 10.4 years. Among both the CCS (34/97) and healthy controls (68/194), 35.1% had d
conclusionsThis study compared caries experience in CCS and matched healthy controls and found no overall differences at the tooth level, indicating that awareness and follow-up of oral health in paediatric cancer patients may play a role in limiting caries development and disease burden.
